Own a rental?Between-tenant jobs, same prices as any house.Ferndale packs its houses close on small lots, and in most of them the water heater stands in a basement corner past the furnace. Grit settles on the floor of that tank where nobody looks, and draining it once a year lets the burner heat water instead of sludge.
Ferndale's basements date from the 1920 to 1951 building stretch, but the tank standing in one is far younger than the walls around it. A yearly flush keeps that newer tank working, and hot water that gives out before a Ferndale shower ends is the sign it has waited too long.
The schedule.
Once a year. On Loaded it is done at the spring visit. Hot water that runs out sooner than it used to, or a first draw that comes out gritty, means it is overdue.
What the visit looks like.
The heater is turned down first, then a hose goes on the drain valve and the tank drains until the water runs clear. It refills and comes back up to temperature, and the heater's age and condition go in the record.
On a plan, this job is done during one of the four visits. The plans, priced for Ferndale: Home upkeep in Ferndale.
