Drain & Sewer FAQs
What is the average lifespan of a standard tank water heater?
Conventional tank water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years depending on water quality, usage levels, and regular maintenance.
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters provide continuous on-demand hot water, take up significantly less wall space, and use less energy by heating water only when taps open.
Why is my water heater making loud popping or knocking noises?
Loud popping or knocking noises are usually caused by mineral sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank trapping boiling water underneath.
How often should a tankless water heater be flushed?
Tankless water heaters should generally be flushed once a year to clear scale buildup and maintain heat transfer efficiency.
Why does my hot water smell metallic or sulfur-like?
Odors in hot water often result from chemical reactions between minerals in hard water and the tank's internal protective anode rod.
