Why Routine Water Heater Maintenance Matters
Ignoring maintenance can lead to bigger problems, like sediment buildup, rising energy bills, or even total unit failure. Annual servicing by a licensed plumber helps you catch small issues early—before they become major headaches. Plus, a well-maintained system can save you money by operating more efficiently and extending the life of your water heater.

Common Water Heater Issues in St Petersburg Homes
St Petersburg’s warm, humid climate means many homes experience faster-than-average corrosion and sediment buildup inside tanks. Plus, older homes in areas like Old Northeast often have outdated systems that require extra care. We’re familiar with all of it—and prepared for anything.
Some frequent calls we get include:
- Popping or rumbling noises
- Slow water heating or inconsistent temperatures
- Rust-colored water from hot taps
- Pilot light keeps going out
- Higher utility bills with no clear reason
These are all signs your water heater is due for professional maintenance.

How Often Should Water Heater Maintenance Be Done?
