Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Dallas, TX

Taking Care of Your Water Heater

The water heater is essential for handwashing, dishwashing, laundry, cooking, and cleaning. It delivers hot water practically on demand and takes good care of you – the least you can do is help it help you. Here are some crucial maintenance tasks and things to consider:

• Flush the tank once or twice a year to remove sediment buildup, and consider a water softener installation to reduce the risk of mineral buildup.
• Set the thermostat to 120 degrees to avoid overheating, overworking, and scalding.
• Test the temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure it is working correctly.
• Inspect the anode rod for corrosion and replace it if necessary.
• Inspect the gas burner or heating element and clean it if needed.
• Check the water heater's insulation for any damage or wear and replace it if necessary.
• Regularly inspect the tank and pipes for leaks or signs of damage.

These quick and simple measures can save you from unexpected repairs and interruptions to your schedule. If you’d like to leave routine maintenance to a qualified plumber, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing and schedule an appointment today.
