Tank Water Heater Maintenance

The most common type of water heater is a tank water heater. They hold anywhere from 10 to 80 gallons of water. Most households will have a 40 to 50-gallon water heater which can either be gas or electric. Proper water heater maintenance is your first defense for a long-lasting water heater. A tank water heater should be inspected every 6 months but at least once a year. 

During the water heater inspection:

  • The water heater should be flushed out to prevent any build of sediment, rust, and corrosion.  
  • The anode rod should be checked. The anode rod extends the life of your water heater by attracting iron, limestone, and other minerals in the water that will corrode or rust the inside of the tank.  
  • The temperature and pressure relief valve, T&P valve, needs to be inspected. The T&P valve allows water to drain if the pressure inside the tank gets too high. 
  • The water heater thermostat is at 120 degrees. This prevents burns and increases the longevity of the water heater.

Tank water heater repair

Not all water heater problems require a water heater replacement. At times, you may be able to just repair your water heater. Contact your local water heater professional, KD Plumbing, to inspect your water heater issue to see if it requires a replacement or a repair.  Some things to watch for are:

  • The water isn't hot or only lukewarm. 
  • There is water leaking from the water heater.
  • The hot water pressure has started to diminish.
  • The hot water has a strange color or smell.
  • There are strange sounds coming from the water heater. 

If you notice any of these and your water heater isn't very old, there is a good chance it can be repaired instead of replaced. 


Tank water heater replacment

The average water heater will last from 8 to 12 years. If your water heater has been properly maintained, it could last even longer. The signs of a water heater failing could be the same as a water heater needing to be repaired. The biggest factor would be the age of the water heater.  You can trust your local plumber in Charleston, SC, KD Plumbing, to point you in the best direction for either a water heater repair or replacement.
