COMMON HOT WATER TANK MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Regular maintenance can help identify developing problems, reduce sediment buildup, and keep your hot water tank operating reliably. Armacom Plumbing & Heating provides professional hot water tank maintenance in Chilliwack for gas and electric storage water heaters.
Maintenance recommendations depend on the age, condition, and type of water heater. We inspect the tank and applicable components, identify signs of wear or deterioration, and explain which maintenance services may help support reliable operation.
Hot Water Tank Inspection
Inspect the tank, piping connections, valves, and accessible components for signs of leakage, corrosion, wear, or abnormal operation.
Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve
The T&P relief valve is an important safety component. We can inspect it and identify signs of leakage, deterioration, or improper operation.
Tank Flushing & Sediment
Sediment can accumulate at the bottom of a storage water heater. Flushing may help remove buildup and support reliable operation when appropriate for the condition of the tank.
Valves & Plumbing Connections
Supply valves, drain valves, fittings, and nearby piping can develop leaks or deterioration over time and should be checked during maintenance.
Anode Rod Inspection
The anode rod helps protect the inside of the tank from corrosion. Where accessible, its condition can be inspected and replacement recommended when appropriate.
Gas & Electric Components
Accessible operating components can be checked for signs of wear or abnormal operation depending on whether you have a gas or electric hot water tank.

WHY IS HOT WATER TANK MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT?
Regular hot water tank maintenance can help identify developing problems before they lead to loss of hot water, leaks, or premature equipment failure. The condition, age, water quality, and type of water heater can all affect what maintenance may be appropriate.
At Armacom Plumbing & Heating, we inspect your water heater and applicable components and recommend practical maintenance based on the actual condition of the equipment.

WHEN MAINTENANCE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH
Regular maintenance can help support the performance and service life of a hot water tank, but it cannot correct every problem. If the tank is leaking internally, significantly corroded, approaching the end of its expected service life, or experiencing repeated failures, repair or replacement may be the more practical option.
We’ll inspect the condition of your water heater and explain whether continued maintenance, repair, or replacement makes the most sense for your home.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD A HOT WATER TANK BE MAINTAINED?
Maintenance frequency depends on the type and age of the water heater, local water conditions, manufacturer recommendations, and the condition of the equipment. Some tanks may benefit from periodic inspection and flushing, while older systems may require closer attention to valves, corrosion, sediment buildup, and other components.
Rather than applying the same maintenance schedule to every water heater, we assess the condition of your equipment and recommend appropriate service based on what we find.

GAS & ELECTRIC HOT WATER TANK MAINTENANCE
Gas and electric storage water heaters use different components and require different maintenance considerations. Armacom Plumbing & Heating provides hot water tank maintenance in Chilliwack for both types.
Gas Hot Water Tanks
Maintenance may include inspecting accessible gas controls, burner operation, venting, valves, piping connections, sediment accumulation, and the overall condition of the water heater.
Gas Hot Water Tank Maintenance May Identify:
✓ Pilot or ignition concerns
✓ Gas control valve problems
✓ Burner or combustion concerns
✓ Thermocouple or flame-sensing issues where applicable
✓ Water temperature problems
✓ T&P relief valve concerns
✓ Leaking piping or water connections
✓ Venting concerns
✓ Sediment accumulation
✓ Unusual operating noises
Because gas-fired equipment involves combustion and fuel-gas systems, applicable repairs should be completed by qualified technicians.
Electric Hot Water Tanks
Maintenance may include inspecting accessible thermostats, heating components, valves, piping connections, sediment accumulation, and the overall condition of the water heater.
Electric Hot Water Tank Maintenance May Identify:
✓ Failed or deteriorating heating elements
✓ Thermostat problems
✓ Water temperature problems
✓ Reduced hot water capacity
✓ T&P relief valve concerns
✓ Leaking piping or water connections
✓ Sediment accumulation
✓ Deteriorating electrical components
✓ Unusual operating noises
If maintenance identifies a failed component or other problem, we’ll explain whether repair is practical based on the condition and age of the water heater.
⚠️ Smell Natural Gas?
If you smell natural gas or suspect a gas leak, leave the affected area and avoid flames, electrical switches, appliances, or anything that could create an ignition source. From a safe location, follow the appropriate emergency procedures and contact the gas utility or emergency services as required. Do not attempt to locate or repair a suspected gas leak yourself.
