Water Damage from Water Heaters

8/11/2023 (Permalink)

A water heater is an appliance that is designed to heat cold water and, in some cases, store hot water for future use. Dishwashers, washing machines, showers, tubs, and sinks rely on water heaters to heat incoming cold water. They are usually located in your residential or commercial property in the garage or basement. If too much pressure builds in the tank, it will eventually spring a leak and burst, causing excessive flooding in the location where your heater is kept. It is a good idea to keep an eye on your water heater and get it inspected and serviced at least once a year to prevent any malfunctions with the appliance.
