Water heaters are a vital part of every household. They provide us with the comfort and conveniences that warm water brings. This article will show you why your heater should be repaired as soon as possible, and how to do it right the first time.

 a hot-water heater can last up to 20 years without needing any major repairs. However, it is at this stage when they become very problematic since the newer models have many complicated components that require special tools for repair or replacement. In order to avoid unnecessary expenses it is best to practice preventative maintenance on a regular basis, so here are 5 tips for you:

1 – Inspect all visible areas of your tank for corrosion, rust or other unusual accumulation of sediment. The water heater's lifespan can be greatly reduced if it is not maintained properly, so the best thing you can do is to clean it up regularly.

2 – Flush out any sediment by following these steps: Turn off the water supply and drain water from the water heater with a water hose. Next, open a hot-water faucet on one of the highest levels in your home and let water run for about 20 minutes. Repeat as necessary.

3 – Check all electrical connections to ensure they are not loose or corroded, since this can cause overheating which will shorten its life span. Also check the temperature/pressure relief valve (on top of the tank) and make sure there's no dripping water since this means it has worn out.

4 – Check the water heater's gas connection for leaks, as this is another common cause of water heater failure which can be very hazardous for your health. If you detect any leaking gas it is highly recommended that you tighten all connections to prevent further leakage before turning on the water supply valve again.

5 – Make sure there are no obstructions in water valves or intake lines, since these can reduce water flow and subsequently lower hot water temperatures, resulting in increased energy costs and water heater damage over time.

After performing these simple steps you will have eliminated potential issues that could otherwise lead to a water heater breakdown and save yourself from putting out unwanted money on repairs or replacements. This depends on how often you practice water heater maintenance and how proactive you are.

And lastly, water heaters come with a heating element that uses electrical power to heat water. If there's a power outage your water heater will stop working unless it has a backup water-heating system. To prevent this from happening, install a power-protection device next to the water heater as soon as possible. This little thing can save you from lots of inconvenience in the future, so don't wait any longer!

Once you've completed all these steps, check if some water is leaking from the drain valve on top of the water heater, as well as from supply valves at cold and hot water lines. In order to fix them properly tighten up nuts and bolts for drains and supply lines and lightly coat with water-resistant or rubber sealant.
