Water Heater Checks and Flushes for Handyman Plans
Know the Unit
Record the brand, size, location and install year on the house items.
Simple Checks
Look for rust, leaks and a dripping relief valve.
Flushing
Sediment builds up in tank heaters. Where allowed, a flush is a useful plan task.
Know Your Limits
Gas lines, venting and replacement may need a licensed plumber in your area. Refer out when needed.
Watch the Age
An older unit showing rust is a heads-up for the customer, and a referral opportunity.
