Corroded Water Heater Floods Kameula Home?
6/13/2023 (Permalink)
Aloha! Our teams in Hawaii and Maui have been restoring water damage for Kamuela locals for over twenty years. Water heater water damage can be prevented by having your water heater serviced by a qualified professional every year.
Use a qualified service professional for the following:
- Burners should be cleaned once a year for gas- and oil-fired water heaters. Have the service professional inspect flues and vents for cracks or loose connections that could leak deadly exhaust gases.
- Have a qualified plumber replace your anode rod once every two to five years
- The service life of a temperature and pressure (T & P) valve is usually three years. Even if a T & P valve looks fine from the outside, manufacturers recommend they be removed and visually inspected for accumulations of corrosion deposits
- Call a qualified plumber if your water tank is leaking.
- If the T & P valve is discharging water or steam, the ONLY safe intervention is to remove the heat source by cutting off its fuel, if you can. For an electric heater, trip the circuit breaker; for a gas heater, shut off the gas.
