Water Heater Maintenance
Protect your hot water and keep your bills down. Northern Benjamin Franklin flushes sediment, checks the anode rod, tests the controls and safety valve, and confirms the unit is venting and burning correctly.
Most water heater failures are gradual and visible in advance. A tune-up is how you find them while they are still cheap.

Signs You Need This Service
Don't wait for a failure. Watch for these critical warning signs that your plumbing system is struggling.
Rumbling or popping from the tank
Sediment on the bottom. Flushing it is most of what maintenance is for.
Hot water takes longer than it did
Recovery slowing is usually sediment or a failing element, and both are catchable early.
Energy bills creeping up
A sediment-lined tank heats through a layer of rock. You pay for that every cycle.
Discoloured water from the hot tap
Early corrosion. Caught now it is an anode rod; ignored it is a new tank.
It has never been flushed
If you cannot remember it being serviced, it has not been.
The unit is five years or older
Past five years an annual tune-up is what stands between you and an unplanned cold shower.
