Sediment

Popping sounds mean sediment.

Flushing

Drain sediment yearly.

Tankless

Space-saving with steady hot water.

Garage installs

Raised platforms and proper venting.

Expansion tanks

Many homes need one.

Hard water and soft water

Much of the area's water comes from the Tennessee River and local wells. Even moderately hard water leaves some sediment over the years, so flushing is still worthwhile.

Repair or replace

Thermostats, elements and gas valves can be replaced. A tank that leaks from the body cannot be patched and should be replaced before it floods the garage.

Request a plumber

Tell the plumber the tank's age. Send a request and a licensed plumber will get in touch.
