Own a rental?Between-tenant jobs, same prices as any house.A one-story brick ranch from Oak Park's 1950s boom almost always puts the water heater in the basement, out of sight. That makes it a quick stop to flush once a year, before sediment shortens the tank's life or the hot water runs short.
Oak Park grew from 5,000 to more than 36,000 people in the 1950s, and few of the basements from that decade still hold the tank the builder put in. On Loaded the flush comes at the spring visit, so each winter's sediment is out before summer.
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 Oak Park: Home upkeep in Oak Park.
