Hard water and your water heater
Gilbert water carries a lot of minerals. In a tank water heater they settle on the bottom as sediment, which makes the burner work harder and the tank rumble. Flushing the tank once a year and checking the anode rod helps it last longer.
If the tank itself is leaking, it cannot be repaired. We will show you where the water is coming from and give you replacement options.
Water Heater Repair questions
How long do water heaters last in Gilbert?
Many tank water heaters here last about 8 to 12 years. Hard water and high house pressure can shorten that.
Is a dripping relief valve dangerous?
The valve is doing its job, letting off pressure or heat. It can point to high pressure or a failing valve. Have it checked rather than plugging it.
