Own a rental?Between-tenant jobs, same prices as any house.Southfield's mid-century houses are laid out the long way, with the water heater at one end of the basement. Sediment takes up room in that tank that used to hold hot water, and a yearly flush through a hose to the floor drain hands the capacity back.
Southfield more than doubled in the 1960s, and few of the houses from that decade still run the tank they started with. On Loaded the flush lands at the spring visit, so a Southfield tank starts the warm months without last year's grit.
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 Southfield: Home upkeep in Southfield.
