    What's included

    Everything in every water heater flush & maintenance call

    Full tank flush

    We connect a hose and fully drain the tank to remove sediment and mineral buildup that accumulates on the bottom over time.

    Component inspection

    While we're there, we inspect the anode rod, T&P valve, water connections and burner or heating elements for early signs of wear.

    Written condition report

    You get a short written summary of what we found - including whether the anode rod needs replacement and an estimated remaining lifespan for the unit.

    Water Heater Replacement

    Our water heater went out with a house full of kids and no hot water. Water Heater Rescue answered right away, came out the same day, explained everything clearly, and gave a flat price upfront. No hidden fees, no runaround. We had hot water again that afternoon.

    FAQ

    Common questions about water heater flush & maintenance

    How often should I flush my water heater?
    Once a year is the standard recommendation. If you have hard water (common in North Georgia), twice a year will extend your unit's life significantly.
    What happens if I never flush my water heater?
    Sediment builds up on the bottom of the tank, forcing the burner or elements to work harder. This drives up energy costs, causes the rumbling sounds you may have heard and dramatically shortens the unit's lifespan - sometimes by 3–5 years.
    Can I flush my water heater myself?
    You can, but there are a few ways to do it wrong - especially with the T&P valve test and drain valve, which can sometimes fail when disturbed on older units. Having a professional do it means you also get an inspection of components you wouldn't know to check.
    Will a flush fix the rumbling noise coming from my tank?
    Usually yes. Rumbling and popping sounds are almost always caused by sediment on the bottom of the tank. A full flush resolves it in most cases.
    Do you also check the anode rod during a flush?
    Yes, always. The anode rod is the most overlooked maintenance item on a water heater. We inspect it and let you know if replacement is needed - we can swap it on the same visit.
