Cleaning the Water Heater

Home ownership has a huge assortment of benefits but also comes with responsibilities. Among the least desired of these are routine homeowner maintenance items which more often than not get postponed by the average owner. Don’t fall into this trap of procrastination and you can save yourself money in the long run by keeping appliances running longer & extending the life of your home.

Hot water heaters are fairly expensive to replace and one way to avoid having a malfunction is to annually perform the simple maintenance task of draining the tank. This will allow any sediment (dirt or minerals from the water itself) which builds up over time to get flushed from the tank. The procedure normally requires just a hose and will only take about half an hour to complete. Everyone gets busy with life, but this easy task can prevent corrosion and save you a costly repair bill.
