Preventive Maintenance for Your Water Heater

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your water heater running smoothly and to prevent potential problems. By scheduling preventive maintenance with Pacific Drain & Plumbing, you can extend the lifespan of your water heater and avoid costly repairs or replacements.

Here are some key benefits of preventive maintenance:

• Improved energy efficiency: Over time, sediment and mineral buildup can reduce the efficiency of your water heater, leading to higher energy bills. Our experienced technicians will flush the tank, remove any sediment, and ensure optimal performance.
• Reduced risk of leaks: Regular inspections can identify any signs of leaks or corrosion early on. By addressing these issues promptly, you can prevent water damage to your home and avoid the inconvenience of a sudden water heater failure.
• Enhanced safety: Faulty water heaters can pose safety hazards, such as gas leaks or electrical issues. Our technicians will thoroughly inspect all components, including the gas valve, thermostat, and pressure relief valve, to ensure everything is functioning properly.

Don't wait for your water heater to break down. Contact Pacific Drain & Plumbing today to schedule preventive maintenance and keep your water heater in optimal condition.

Why Is My Water Heater Making Noise?

If you've ever noticed strange noises coming from your water heater, it can be a bit unsettling. While it is common for water heaters to make some level of noise, a water heater that is producing excessive or loud sounds when running is typically an indication of a problem. Loud rumbling or popping sounds can be a sign of sediment buildup in the tank, while a banging sound could be the result of a water hammer. A high-pitched whistling noise could point to an issue with water flow being restricted, often from a partially closed valve, and a humming noise might indicate that a heating element has become loose. These types of noises should always be checked out by a professional plumber as soon as possible so that any problems can be identified and resolved to prevent further issues.

So, if your water heater is making unusual noises or you experience any other problem with your system, contact our San Diego water heater repair team right away.
