Our technicians will check the temperature release valve to ensure it isn’t blocked or damaged. This valve allows water to drain if the pressure inside the tank gets too high.
The anode rod is designed to intentionally attract debris, corroding itself instead of the water heater. We’ll look to see if this should be replaced.

Tank water heaters should be drained at least once a year. Technicians will also inspect internal components like the anode rod to see if it needs to be replaced, as well as the temperature pressure release (TPR) valve to ensure it’s not blocked. The TPR valve releases water when there is an excessive amount of pressure in the tank and ensures that your pipes don’t burst. If this valve isn’t functioning right, we can recommend if it needs to be replaced.
Although tankless water heaters don’t store water, the system still needs to be flushed periodically. There are also two filters in tankless water heaters that stop buildup or debris from getting through, and our techs examine and clean those completely.
Homeowners should schedule hot water heater maintenance a few times annually, depending on the type of water heater, energy source and local water quality. Tankless water heaters should have maintenance carried out twice every year.
Maintenance plans are worth the money for many reasons. Having routine maintenance for both tank and tankless water heaters can minimize the need for expensive repairs because things are less likely to break. You can also extend the life span of your water heater, preventing premature replacement.
