Why call the Dudes
Water Heater Maintenance done right the first time.
A water heater you maintain lasts roughly twice as long as one you ignore. Sediment buildup, anode rod failure, and scale in tankless units quietly kill heaters years before they should fail.
Our Burbank maintenance plan keeps tanks flushed, anodes checked, and tankless units descaled, so you're not replacing a heater that had life left in it.
What we handle
Common water heater maintenance situations.
Failing anode rod
The anode protects your tank by sacrificing itself. Replace before the tank starts rusting.
Tankless scale buildup
Burbank's water hardness scales tankless heat exchangers. Annual descale prevents failure.
Slow recovery time
Often a sign sediment is insulating the burner from the water.
Strange noises
Popping or rumbling = sediment. Flushing usually solves it.
Dropping efficiency
Maintenance restores efficiency you've been losing without noticing.
How it goes
Simple, honest, in-and-out.
01
Visual inspection
Look for leaks, corrosion, vent issues, and combustion safety.
02
Flush the tank
Drain sediment from the tank fully, not just a quick rinse.
03
Anode or descale
Anode check on tanks; full descale on tankless units.
04
Verify
Test temperature, T&P valve, and combustion. Document everything.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Once a year for both tank and tankless. Tank service includes a flush to clear sediment, anode rod inspection (replace if more than 50% consumed), T&P valve test, gas connection check, and a full visual on the venting and earthquake straps. Tankless service includes a vinegar descale flush, inlet filter clean, vent inspection, and combustion check. Skip annual maintenance on a tankless and you'll halve its lifespan, skip it on a tank and the popping noises start. Most Burbank homeowners forget until something fails, which is why we offer recurring annual plans.
