Butterfield Ranch Home Flooded by Corroded Water Heater?

We restore water damage 365 days a year in San Bernardino County.

Failed water heaters are one of the leading causes of water damage insurance claims in the United States. When your water heater breaks down and floods your home, our local Chino/Chino Hills are Here to Help. ® Water heaters have a life expectancy of about ten years, and there are steps you can take to ensure your water heater operates efficiently as follows:

Replace the anode rod.

First, make sure to replace the anode rod before it wears out completely. This “little hero” sacrifices itself to protect your tank, so it's important to give it the attention it deserves.

Keep an eye on the lower section of the tank.

Inspect the lower section of the tank to ensure it doesn't fill up with sediment. If sediment builds up, it can neutralize the anode rod's effectiveness below the sediment layer and potentially lead to rust at the bottom of the tank.

Hire a qualified plumbing professional.

Not everyone is an expert on anode rods, so it’s understandable if you would prefer to forgo replacing them yourself. There are many plumbing professionals who offer services to maintain your water heater.
