What Our Maintenance Service Includes
A maintenance visit covers a lot of ground. Here’s what our plumbers do:
| Task |
What We Check |
| Tank flush |
Drain sediment buildup from bottom of tank |
| Anode rod inspection |
Check for corrosion, recommend replacement if worn |
| T&P valve test |
Verify temperature and pressure relief valve opens properly |
| Thermostat check |
Confirm settings and adjust if needed |
| Leak inspection |
Look for drips at connections, valves, and tank base |
| Burner/element inspection |
Check heating components for damage or buildup |
| Pilot light (gas units) |
Relight if needed, verify blue flame |
| Connections check |
Inspect inlet, outlet, and gas lines for corrosion |
The whole visit usually takes about an hour. Tank or tankless, gas or electric. We service all types. When we’re done, you’ll know exactly what shape your water heater is in.
Tankless Water Heater Maintenance in Las Vegas
Tankless units need maintenance too, just a different kind. Instead of flushing sediment from a storage tank, the focus is on mineral scale that builds up inside the heat exchanger.
Las Vegas water does a number on tankless systems. Calcium deposits coat the exchanger walls and restrict water flow over time. Left alone, the unit runs hotter, works harder, and eventually throws error codes or shuts down altogether.
Here’s what we do during a tankless maintenance visit:
- Descale the heat exchanger. We pump a cleaning solution through the system to dissolve calcium and mineral buildup without damaging internal parts. This is the big one. It restores flow and efficiency.
- Clean the inlet filter. A clogged screen chokes water flow and puts extra strain on the unit. Takes two minutes to clean, but most homeowners don’t realize it’s there.
- Inspect the burner assembly (gas models) or heating elements (electric). We look for soot buildup, uneven firing, or signs of corrosion.
- Test the flow sensor and thermistor. These control your water temperature. When they drift, you get inconsistent hot water. Sometimes scalding, sometimes barely warm.
- Check the condensate drain on condensing models. A blocked drain line can trigger a shutdown or cause water damage underneath the unit.
We service all major tankless brands in Las Vegas, including Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, and Rheem. Not sure what type of system you have? That’s fine. Our plumbers will identify the unit and walk you through exactly what it needs.
If your system hasn’t been serviced in the last 12 months, it’s likely overdue. Give us a call and we’ll get it back to where it should be .
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Maintenance
Don’t wait for a breakdown. These warning signs mean your water heater is overdue for service:
- Rumbling or popping noises — Sediment hardens at the bottom and makes noise when the burner heats it. The louder the sound, the thicker the buildup.
- Lukewarm water — Sediment insulates the bottom of the tank and blocks heat transfer. The water never gets as hot as it should.
- Rusty or discolored water — Brown or orange water coming from hot taps often means corrosion inside the tank or a failing anode rod.
- Rotten egg smell — Bacteria can grow in tanks that sit too long without use or have a depleted anode rod. A flush and rod replacement usually fixes it.
- Longer recovery time — If the tank takes forever to reheat after someone showers, sediment is probably the culprit.
- Water pooling around the base — Small leaks from the tank or relief valve mean trouble. Catching them early prevents water damage.
Noticed any of these? Give us a call. A maintenance visit might solve the problem, or it might reveal that a repair is needed. Either way, you’ll know what you’re dealing with.
Most people don’t think about this until it’s too late. A maintenance visit costs far less than an emergency repair, and it’s nothing compared to a full replacement. Catching a worn anode rod now means you’re not replacing a rusted-out tank next year. Flushing sediment today means you’re not paying for a new heating element six months from now. Maintenance is the cheapest form of water heater insurance there is.
