(405) 500-5333

How It Works

Our maintenance visit includes flushing the tank to remove sediment, inspecting the anode rod, testing the pressure relief valve, checking temperature settings, inspecting connections for leaks and performing a full operational check.

When To Schedule

Schedule water heater maintenance annually. Homes with hard water may benefit from more frequent flushing due to accelerated sediment buildup.

Who Does It

Performed by our licensed plumbers following a complete maintenance checklist for both tank and tankless systems.

Where We Serve

We serve residential and commercial properties throughout Edmond, Guthrie, the Waterloo area and North Oklahoma City.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is water heater maintenance important?
Sediment buildup reduces efficiency, makes the unit work harder and can significantly shorten system life. Regular maintenance prevents these issues.
How often should a water heater be flushed?
Once a year for most homes. Homes with hard water may benefit from flushing every 6 months.
What is the anode rod and why does it matter?
The anode rod protects your tank from corrosion. When it wears out, the tank itself begins to corrode. Regular inspection and replacement extends tank life significantly.
Can you maintain tankless water heaters?
Yes. Tankless systems require descaling and component inspection on a regular schedule. We service all major tankless brands.
What happens if the pressure relief valve fails during inspection?
We replace it on the spot. A failed pressure relief valve is a safety concern that should be addressed immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a water heater be serviced?
Annual maintenance is recommended. Flushing sediment, testing the anode rod, and checking the pressure relief valve keep the system efficient and extend its life.
What does water heater maintenance include?
We flush the tank to remove sediment, inspect the anode rod, test the temperature and pressure relief valve, check connections, and verify thermostat settings.
Why is flushing a water heater important?
Sediment buildup reduces efficiency, increases energy costs, causes rumbling noises, and accelerates corrosion that shortens the heater's lifespan.
Does maintenance prevent water heater failure?
Yes. Most unexpected water heater failures are preventable with regular maintenance. Catching a failing anode rod or valve early avoids a much larger problem.
How long does water heater maintenance take?
A standard maintenance visit takes about an hour. We keep you informed throughout and explain any issues we find.
Do you maintain tankless water heaters as well?
Yes. Tankless systems benefit from annual descaling and inspection of the burner assembly, heat exchanger, and flow sensors.
