Our flush and fill services take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Our team uses specialized equipment and industry-approved procedures to complete the task, and we always take extra care to protect your water heater and home during the process. Once complete, your water heater will provide the consistent, energy-efficient performance you require. It will also be less susceptible to damage and the need for emergency repairs.

Extending Your Water Heater’s Life Span With Maintenance
Regardless of model or manufacturer, preventive maintenance is essential for all water heaters. Over time, components loosen, wear out, and break. Left unrepaired, these issues can decrease your water water heater’s performance, reliability, and safety. At ABC Southwest, our water heater maintenance services are customized to meet the needs of our clients.
During a standard maintenance appointment, our team performs a full range of water heater maintenance procedures, including:
- Test thermostat & thermocouple
- Test water quality
- Test temperature and pressure relief valve
- Inspect for rust or leaks
- Check the heating element
- Change anode rod as needed
- Check temperature settings
- Check electrical and gas connections
The most important reason to stay on top of water heater maintenance is that it will extend the serviceable life span of your system. With proper care and maintenance, modern water heaters will provide anywhere from eight to 12 years of reliable operation. It’s well worth taking the time to schedule annual water heater maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should the anode rod be changed?
Most anode rods should be changed every three to five years. It depends on your water quality because some conditions can accelerate corrosion. Annual inspections can help ensure that your anode rod doesn’t rust away and expose your tank to damage.
Can I flush my own water heater?
Flushing is a simple task, but it does require considerable attention to detail. Also, a professional plumber may notice issues during the process that require attention, such as damaged components, leaks, etc. Thus, hiring a professional plumber to complete the task provides greater protection for your water heater, home, and comfort.
Will water softeners reduce sediment buildup in my water heater?
Whole-home water softeners are installed at the point of entry into your home. The water filters through the softener before it flows into your water heater. Installing one will help reduce sediment buildup in the tank.
