Water Heater Water Damage in Crestview Home?

We clean and restore water damage quickly and efficiently in Okaloosa County.

The Crestview community trusts our team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley to restore water damage. Here are some tips for your water heater from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors:

Use Qualified Service Professionals to:

• Clean burners once a year for gas-and oil-fired water heaters. Have flues and vents inspected 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, manufacturers recommend removing and visually inspecting it.
• 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.
  • If your water heater overheats, call a qualified plumber and allow the water heater to cool naturally. Never try to relieve the pressure yourself. Never add cool water to the tank, and never try to cool it by spraying it with a hose.
