Protect your home’s hot water supply and extend the life of your tank. Prevent premature leaks and cold showers with our expert service.
If you live along the Wasatch Front, you already know we have extremely hard water with heavy mineral content in our water supply. Dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium settle at the bottom of your water heater tank over time, creating a layer of sediment that acts as an insulator.
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.
We typically recommend a professional flush once a year for Utah homes due to our mineral content. If you have extremely hard water and no softener, you might need it more frequently. 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 Utah 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.
