WATER HEATER INSPECTION

Is your water heater agonizing?

Generally speaking, the service life of a domestic water heater varies between 10 and 15 years. Several factors can influence this lifespan including the quality of its fabrication, the particularities of the water circulating within (iron, limestone, pH …), the environment in which it is installed (temperature, humidity, frequent passages, etc.), the ground on which it stands (concrete, earth, insulation …), and more.

Before it causes you any trouble, consult with one of our specialists.

In order to avoid possible damage due to water leakage from the water heater, it is recommended to inspect the water heater and its environment frequently. Check for rust on the base, water marks under the access doors and  signs of dark circles on the floor. To find the date of its manufacturing, look for the nameplate affixed on its outer wall. Most water heaters clearly show the date it came out of the shop. If not, consult the manufacturer’s website. There you will find help on how to evaluate the age of your water heater by understanding its serial number.

If you have any doubts regarding the quality and life expectancy of your water heater, it is always best to take preventive action and plan to replace the water heater in the short or medium term, thus avoiding damages caused by water leakage.
