What a maintenance visit covers
- Draining and flushing sediment from the tank
- Checking the anode rod (the part that keeps the tank from rusting)
- Testing the temperature and pressure relief valve
- Checking the gas burner and venting, or the elements on electric units
- Checking the expansion tank and house water pressure
- Descaling for tankless units
How often?
Once a year is a good habit for most Queen Creek homes. If your heater pops and rumbles, it's probably overdue.

Water heater flush & maintenance questions
Can I flush my water heater myself?
You can, but old drain valves sometimes won't close again, and a stuck valve on a full tank is a mess. A plumber also checks the parts you can't see.
My heater is making popping sounds. Is that bad?
It's usually sediment. A flush often quiets it down. If the heater is old, it may be a sign it's near the end.
