Yes. Pipe Masters offers water heater maintenance including tank flushing, anode rod inspection, thermostat calibration, and safety valve testing. Annual maintenance extends water heater life and maintains efficiency for New Gloucester homeowners.
Tank water heaters in New Gloucester typically last 8 to 12 years. Tankless units can last 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. Factors like water hardness, usage, and maintenance schedule affect lifespan. Pipe Masters can evaluate your unit and estimate remaining life.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair cost is under half the replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. Units over 10 years old with tank leaks or frequent problems are typically better replaced. Our New Gloucester plumbers give you an honest assessment.
Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Needed a sewer cleanout installed because we had no access point for maintenance. They dug the spot, tied into the existing line, and now we can get the sewer scoped or cleaned without any hassle."
"We had a clogged toilet that a plunger could not fix. The plumber used an auger and pulled out a toy car my toddler had flushed. Problem solved in ten minutes and he was really nice about it."
"Called about a running toilet that was driving up our water bill. The plumber replaced the fill valve and flapper in about twenty minutes. Simple fix but it was wasting gallons every hour."
