Think about the best times for access, especially if you share a driveway or gate.
Quick answers
How often should a tank be flushed?
Once a year is a common rule of thumb, more often where water is hard. Ask the pro to show you the drain valve so you know where it is.
What is the relief valve for?
The temperature and pressure relief valve releases water if the tank gets too hot or pressurized. It should never be capped or plugged.
What should a water heater specialist know about homes in Allen?
Allen grew quickly in the 1990s and 2000s. Allen Premium Outlets draws shoppers from across the region. Hail is a major roof issue in spring. Mention your street and the age of the house when you call.
