Check Your Hot Water Heater To Avoid A Water Loss.

One of the main causes for a residential water loss is the hot water heater. The life span of most electric hot water heaters is eight to twelve years and most manufacturers recommend replacing them at year ten.  Gas hot water heaters last approximately six to eight years with tank less hot water heaters lasting up to 20 years. The design of a home can place the hot water heater in the garage, an interior closet and even in the attic.  A water loss caused by a leaking or even burst hot water heater can cause several thousands of dollars in damage. Make sure your hot water heater is checked regularly by your plumber and is in good working order. If you happen to have an unfortunate event of a leaking or burst hot water heater, call SERVPRO of York County 24 Hours a Day/7 Days a Week.
