Many of us can admit that we don’t keep up with maintaining our water heaters, and some had no clue any maintenance was even involved!
Maintenance may sound more stressful than it really is. First off, you really only have to check up on your unit twice if not once a year.
If you can keep up with that your water heater will last you twice as long!
So in conclusion regular maintenance is the best way to improve the life of any appliance.
Below I put what is required in your maintenance. Remember this can be done by a professional or it may be something you want to do on your own.
Since your water heater is used all year round and serves a major purpose to your homes function. For starters, you always want to check for signs of damage, leaks, sediment build-up, cracks, etc.
A professional may be able to to recognize those things better, but if you have any signs of these taking place you must take action. Call 818-405-3603 for answers to any questions. Ignoring such things espeacially leaks and cracks will only increase the chances of your home flooding, damaging all the belongings nearby and more.
Fixing the problem can be as simple as just tightening a screw, but, if the water tank itself has developed a leak, the entire water heater needs to be changed.
