There’s a little more to a water heater inspection than walking by it, giving it a quick once over, then walking away declaring “Looks fine to me!”
If that’s all there were to it, you could start your own plumbing business without any additional qualifications. But you can’t because there IS more to it.
Before we get to the “what to look for” stage, let’s first explore the “why bother angle.” You see, there are multiple reasons to have you water heater routinely inspected. These include:
- Your water heater has a limited shelf-life…regular inspections can help prolong that
- Regular inspections also can help prevent repair problems, or catch them before they become bigger and costlier to repair
- Unless the thermostat is set correctly, you’re at risk of scalding OR having water that isn’t as hot as you would like it to be
- We check your anode rod to help prevent internal corrosion
Here are just some of the steps we employ during a water heater inspection:
- Check for signs of internal corrosion
- Check for water leaks
- Check the thermostat for proper temperature setting
- Check for signs of gas or carbon monoxide leaks
- Check the safety relief valve and emergency shutoff valve
- Check your hot water pressure
- Check your system’s power supply
- And more
If we spot any issues that should be repaired sooner than later, we’ll give you a guaranteed upfront price quote and proceed only with your approval.
Bottom line, the whole purpose of our water heater performance and safety inspection is to help you enjoy uninterrupted comfort and convenience along with greater peace of mind knowing that all safety issues have been addressed and corrected as needed.
