Sediment Flush and Maintenance in South Hill, VA

Calcium deposits settle at the tank bottom and insulate the burner or element from water. Melvin's Water Heater Service attaches a hose to the drain valve and opens it fully for several minutes. A powered flushing tool agitates the sediment layer without scratching the glass lining. Annual service prevents overheating and premature failure. One paragraph lists the recommended flush interval of twelve months in hard water areas.
After the tank runs clear the anode rod is inspected for consumption. Call (833) 774-1697.
