WATER HEATER INSPECTIONS IN POMONA
During a water heater inspection, our Pomona plumbers check the following components and aspects to ensure safe and efficient operation:
- We conduct a visual inspection to check the exterior of the water heater for signs of wear, corrosion, rust, or leaks, especially around the base.
- We inspect all water connections and fittings, and the tank itself is checked for leaks or signs of water damage.
- We check the thermostat to ensure that it is functioning correctly and set to a safe and efficient temperature.
- We inspect the anode rod, which prevents rusting inside the tank, for wear. If the rod is significantly corroded, it may need to be replaced to extend the life of the heater.
- We check for sediment buildup inside the tank. Flushing the tank may be recommended if we find excessive sediment buildup.
- If you have an electric water heater, we check the heating elements, wiring, and connections for functionality.
- If you have a gas water heater, we inspect the burners, pilot light, and thermocouple to ensure they are working correctly.
- The temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P Valve) is tested to ensure it can properly release pressure if needed, which is crucial for preventing the tank from exploding under pressure.
- We examine the vent pipe to ensure it is properly connected and free from blockages.
- The drain valve is inspected to ensure it can be used to drain the tank when needed.
