Pleasant Ridge packs older houses close on a small square of land, most with the water heater down in the basement. That heater asks for nothing until the day it does, and a yearly flush drains the sediment off before a cold shower brings it up.

A Pleasant Ridge house can buy a Pewabic centennial tile at 100, and the water heater inside it is one part that will never earn one. On Loaded the flush comes at the spring visit, ahead of a summer of showers after the community pool.

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 Pleasant Ridge: Home upkeep in Pleasant Ridge.
