Water heater maintenance.

According to a study done by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, the chances of your water heater leaking, or bursting begins to dramatically increase when it is five years old, and 75 percent of water heaters fail before they are twelve years old.

At SERVPRO® of Moorhead, we know that water emergencies can damage your belongings and disrupt your life. We will always treat you, your family, and your belongings with great care and consideration when mitigating any water damage emergency. Here are some loss prevention and maintenance tips from the IBHS to keep your water heater in good condition:

• Inspect your anode rod every two years, or every year once the warranty has expired, to determine if it needs to be replaced
• Flush water heater tanks every six months to remove sediment by attaching a garden hose to the valve at the base. For safety, first, turn off the power and run hot water until it is cool.
• Get an annual inspection from a plumbing professional including the shut-off valve and all piping
• Signs of broken valves and loose or wet joints and rust are a sign that more severe damage is coming
