Own a rental?Between-tenant jobs, same prices as any house.Louise Lathrup Kelley set cost minimums for building here from 1923, and the house shells have outlived several generations of what was installed inside them. The water heater is the newest part of the house, and a yearly flush keeps sediment off the tank floor so it lasts.
The Lathrup Village Historic District joined the National Register in 1998, but the water heater is the one part of a house there that nobody preserves. On Loaded the flush lands at the spring visit, and a first draw with grit in it before then means the tank is overdue.
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 Lathrup Village: Home upkeep in Lathrup Village.
