Is Your Water Heater a Ticking Time Bomb?

When it comes to home maintenance, many homeowners overlook one crucial component: the water heater. At Billy Rogers, Inc, we’ve seen firsthand the consequences of neglecting this essential appliance. Today, we’re shedding light on why regular water heater maintenance is not just a good idea – it’s a necessity.

The Silent Culprit: Sediment Buildup

Over time, minerals and debris in your water can settle at the bottom of your water heater tank. This sediment buildup can lead to several problems:

• Reduced efficiency, leading to higher energy bills
• Strange noises coming from your water heater
• Inconsistent water temperatures
• Shortened lifespan of the appliance

The Worst-Case Scenario: Tank Rupture

In extreme cases, neglected water heaters can rupture, causing extensive water damage to your home. This catastrophic failure often occurs without warning, leaving homeowners with a costly mess to clean up.

Prevention is Key

Regular maintenance by a professional can prevent these issues and extend the life of your water heater. At Billy Rogers, Inc, we recommend annual inspections and flush services to keep your water heater running smoothly.
