Especially in cold winter areas like most of the city of Liverpool, keeping an eye on your water heater can be vital to get through the season without major unexpected problems. At Emergency Plumber Liverpool, we offer our customers a complete range of services on water heating systems. Let's look at some of the main benefits of frequent water heater inspection and maintenance.

Basics of water heater maintenance

When a plumber comes to check your water heater, they mainly look for debris and accumulations inside the tank. Things like dirt, rust and even small pebbles can seep into the tank over time and these can create problems within your home's water system. In most cases, a plumber will use what is called the "rinse and drain" method. All the water in the tank is emptied, allowing any accumulation to come out of the tank.

There are different brands and models of water heaters, so be sure to consult a specialist plumber, such as one of our professional experts. In some cases, blocking the water heater or other damage could lead to the installation of a new water heater. In both these and other cases where simple maintenance is needed, the next sections describe some of the main benefits of this process.

Increased capacity

A well-functioning heater will be able to provide you and your family with hot water in less time. The accumulation of debris in the tank can grow to sufficiently large levels where the capacity of the tank is really compromised. So in many cases, washing and draining can do a lot, increasing the capacity of the appliance.

Extend the life of the water heater

Cleaning the hot water tank also helps prevent long-term problems such as rust and decay. Emptying the heating system and professional cleaning, such as those provided by our company staff, can add years to the shelf life of your water heater.

It prevents problems

Many of the benefits of water heater maintenance are truly preventative. A flush can help unblock the drain valve. For example, an examination inside the tank with the help of a plumber can help you discover a problem before it becomes too serious. Even if you don't notice specific problems with your water heater, it's best to take a look every year to make sure everything is working properly.
