The right fix for your home
Sediment shortens tank life and wastes energy. A yearly tune-up flushes the tank, checks the anode rod and safety valve, and confirms the unit is operating safely.

Our approach
What a water heater tune-up covers
A tune-up is an inspection plus cleaning and adjustment to keep your water heater running efficiently. We also do preventive checks to catch small problems before they become breakdowns.
Regular maintenance can also help keep your water heater's manufacturer warranty valid. For tankless units, maintenance includes cleaning and descaling.

Common questions
Straight answers about cost, timing, and what to expect. Still unsure? Call and talk to a real person.
Call (253) 271-9746Does maintenance affect my water heater warranty?
Regular maintenance helps maintain warranty validity. Check your manufacturer's warranty terms for their specific requirements.
Do tankless water heaters need maintenance too?
Yes. Tankless units benefit from annual cleaning and descaling to keep them running efficiently.
How long does a water heater last?
A traditional tank water heater typically lasts about 8 to 12 years. Tankless units often last longer with regular maintenance. Water quality, usage, and whether the tank is flushed annually all affect lifespan. If your unit is past 10 years and having problems, replacement is usually the better investment.
Why am I running out of hot water?
Common causes include sediment buildup taking up space in the tank, a failed heating element or thermostat, a broken dip tube, or a tank that's simply too small for your household. A tune-up or repair often solves it; if the unit is undersized or aging, it may be time to discuss options.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
As a general guide: if the unit is under 8 years old and the repair is minor, repair it. If it's over 10 years old, leaking from the tank itself, or needs an expensive repair, replacement usually makes more sense. We'll give you a straight answer and a clear estimate either way.
