Water heaters are necessary in every home or business and need to be maintained to ensure no problems occur. Here are some tips from SERVPRO of Boone & Clinton Counties to maintain a long lasting water heater.

1. Before doing any maintenance on your water heater, shut off the power at the service panel.

2. Once every three months, drain one gallon of water from the tank. If you have hard water, do this every month to reduce sediment collecting in the bottom of the tank.

3. Once every two years, have your water heater inspected by a service technician.

4. Once every five years, have a service technician replace the anode rod.
