Hard water along the Wasatch Front causes rapid sediment buildup. Our expert water heater flushing and annual maintenance service protects your tank, lowers energy bills, prevents leaks, and keeps your showers hot.
Living along the Wasatch Front means dealing with heavy mineral content in the water supply. Over time, calcium and magnesium settle at the bottom of your tank and create a thick layer of sediment buildup. This acts as an insulator, forcing your water heater to work harder to heat the water above it.
Pro Tip: Stop sediment before it enters your tank. A whole-home sediment filter or softener (installed at the same time as a new water heater) dramatically extends the life of the unit.
The cornerstone of our maintenance visit is a complete flush of the tank. While some homeowners attempt this themselves, a professional flush ensures safety and thoroughness, especially with older drain valves that can snap or fail if mishandled.
We connect a commercial-grade hose to your tank’s drain valve and safely divert the water to a proper drainage area. By using pressure to agitate the water, we force out the loose sediment and limescale sitting at the bottom of the tank.
For most homes along the Wasatch Front, we recommend a professional water heater flushing service once every 12 months. Homes with especially hard water and no softener may need flushing every 6-9 months. Read more about recommended flushing cadence.
If your water heater is old and has never been flushed, disturbing the sediment might cause a leak. In these cases, we perform a safety inspection first. If we find active leaks, we can transition immediately to water heater repairs.
Once per year for most Wasatch Front homes.

"Can I do this myself?" Yes for basic checks, but safety components like gas lines and T&P valves are best left to licensed pros.
