Everyone has a water heater in their home, it is very common for them to have issues. But you can be rest assured that SERVPRO of Ojai/Montecito has the tools and the staff to get you back into your home quickly. Here are some tips to check in on your water heater!

1. Check your water heater's age. Once your water heater reaches it's life expectancy it is much more susceptible to a leak or burst.

2. Clean out your water heater regularly. This includes removing sediments and flushing the tank regularly every 6 months. 

3. Placement matters. Most people store their water heater in the garage because it is "out of sight" which also means it is "out of mind". The biggest mistake made is waiting for your water heater to start showing troubling signs, such as leaking, before people replace or try to fix them. 

Always call SERVPRO for any of you water loss needs.
