What Our Clients Say

FAQs

What is water heater tank flushing?

Water heater tank flushing is the removal of sediment and mineral buildup inside the tank to improve efficiency and prevent damage.

How often should a tank be flushed?

For homes with hard water, once per year is recommended. More frequent flushing may be needed depending on water hardness.

Can sediment buildup damage my water heater?

Yes, sediment can reduce efficiency, cause noises, corrode the tank, and shorten the water heater’s lifespan.

How quickly can you install a new water heater?

We provide same-day or next-day installation in many areas of Arizona.

Do you service both gas and electric water heaters?

Yes, we flush both gas and electric water heater tanks safely and professionally.

Do you offer commercial tank flushing?

Absolutely. We provide residential and commercial water heater tank flushing across Arizona.

Why is tank flushing critical for Arizona residents specifically?

Arizona is known for high mineral content (hard water). Without regular flushing, sediment acts as an insulator, forcing your heater to work harder, which significantly increases energy bills and leads to premature tank failure.

What are the signs that my water heater has sediment buildup?

If you hear popping or rumbling noises from your tank, experience inconsistent water temperatures, or notice a “rotten egg” smell, it’s a sign of heavy sediment and mineral buildup that requires professional flushing.

How can I prevent sediment buildup between professional flushings?

Installing a whole-home water softener or a scale inhibitor is the best way to reduce sediment accumulation. We recommend combining these systems with annual professional tank maintenance to maximize your heater’s lifespan.
