Extend the life of your water heater with expert flushing service from Roto-Rooter Mobile.
Your water heater works hard every day to provide you with hot water for showers, laundry, dishes and more. Over time, both tank and tankless water heaters accumulate mineral deposits and debris that can impact performance, increase your energy bills, and shorten the life of your unit. That’s why routine water heater flushing is an essential part of your home maintenance routine—and Roto-Rooter Mobile is here to help.
Why Flush a Water Heater?
For Tank Water Heaters:
Sediment from your water supply—like sand, rust and calcium—settles at the bottom of the tank over time. This buildup creates a layer of debris that can reduce heating efficiency, make your water heater work harder and even lead to cracking or leaks. In some cases, you could have up to 2 inches of debris sitting at the bottom of your tank without realizing it!
For Tankless Water Heaters:
Although tankless models don’t store water, they still experience mineral buildup—especially if your home has hard water. Scale buildup inside the unit can restrict water flow, strain internal components and trigger system errors. Without regular maintenance, a tankless water heater can lose efficiency and even suffer from early failure.
How Often Should You Flush Your Water Heater?
Whether you have a traditional tank model or a modern tankless unit, experts recommend flushing your water heater every 2 to 3 years. In areas with hard water (like much of the Gulf Coast), yearly service may be even more beneficial.
What Are the Benefits of Flushing?
- Improved energy efficiency
- Consistent hot water output
- Lower risk of breakdowns

By flushing out sediment and scale, your water heater runs more smoothly and efficiently—saving you money and hassle in the long run.
