Sediment buildup in tanks on hard corridor water
Why it happens here
Galveston County water carries minerals that settle to the bottom of the tank as it heats. Over time that layer insulates the burner, causes popping sounds, and shortens tank life. Older homes on Palmer Highway North see this most.
Our approach
We flush the tank and check the dip tube and heating element while we are in there. If buildup is heavy and the tank is past eight years, we walk you through replacement options instead of a flush that will not last.
