Water Heater Maintenance by Plumber
  • Over time, minerals build up inside your water heater and reduce efficiency. We flush the tank to remove sediment, which helps prevent corrosion, improves heating speed, and extends the unit’s lifespan.

  • We inspect the thermostat, pressure relief valve, anode rod, and all connections to ensure everything is functioning safely and efficiently. For gas units, we also check the burner and ventilation.

  • Whether you’ve got a traditional tank or a high-efficiency tankless model, our techs know exactly how to maintain it. We tailor the service based on your system and water usage.

  • Every pipe we repair and part we install is backed by our one-year workmanship guarantee. If something goes wrong because of our work, we’ll make it right—no hassle, no hidden fees. It’s just one more way we bring you peace of mind.
