Why Do Washington Township Water Heaters Burst?

There are three main causes of water heaters breaking; build-up of sediment, corrosion in the tank, and too much pressure. The latter is the reason most customers in Washington Township call for a burst hot water heater. Properly running water heaters have a relief valve that opens when pressure begins to build. However, tanks wear down over the years and components can become faulty. If more pressure builds than the tank can handle, the hot water heater could burst or explode. Regular HVAC maintenance should be performed, but if you have an emergency with a leaking water heater in Washington Township, call the water damage pros at Michigan Fire & Flood Inc for immediate assistance.

1. Quickly turn off the water supply from the valve located on your water heater to prevent further water damage
