How to Water Heater Flushing

Over time, minerals and sediment from your water supply settle at the bottom of your water heater tank, forming an insulating layer that reduces heating efficiency and accelerates tank corrosion. This maintenance task involves draining the tank completely and flushing out accumulated sediment to restore proper heat transfer. Regular flushing extends your water heater's lifespan by years, reduces energy costs, provides hotter water faster, and helps you avoid the catastrophic mess of a failed tank flooding your home.
