What Happens If You Don’t Flush Your Water Heater?
It’s easy to forget about your water heater—until something goes wrong. Skipping annual flushes can lead to expensive and avoidable issues down the line. Here’s what can happen if you leave sediment unchecked:
Reduced heating power
Sediment acts as insulation between the heating element and the water. This makes your system less effective and forces it to work harder—wearing it down faster.
Higher energy bills
More effort means more energy. An unflushed heater will drive up your monthly costs without delivering better performance.
Early tank failure
Built-up sediment can lead to overheating and tank damage. In some cases, the added stress can cause the tank to crack or fail, leading to leaks and a full system replacement.
Voided manufacturer warranty
Many water heater warranties require routine maintenance, including flushing. Neglecting it could mean footing the bill yourself if something breaks.
Rusty water and bacteria buildup
Sediment sitting at the bottom of the tank can lead to discolored water or even harbor bacteria in rare cases. This puts your water quality—and your health—at risk.
What Our Water Heater Maintenance Includes
Regular care keeps your system running stronger for longer. Our water heater maintenance visit includes:
- Full system inspection
- Tank draining and flushing
- Heating element check (if electric)
- Gas and vent safety check (if gas)
- Temperature and pressure valve test
- Leak and corrosion check
This is a quick, affordable service that protects one of the most-used appliances in your home.
Signs You Need a Flush
Not sure if it’s time to flush your system? Here are a few signs:
- Rumbling or banging sounds
- Water is taking longer to heat
- Lower hot water volume
- Cloudy or rusty water
- A tank that’s never been serviced
Even if it still runs, flushing now can prevent early failure.

Colebee from Running Water Plumbing installed a gas line and also fixed a broken exterior faucet at my home. He showed up right on time and worked quickly and efficiently. Without me even asking, he helped remove my old oven and install the new one, which I really appreciated. The quality of work was solid and the whole process was smooth. I highly recommend Running Water for any plumbing needs. Thanks again.

Colebee was on time and very professional. He wasn’t satisfied with the quality of some of the previous parts so he replaced them at a fair price to ensure no further issues with my toilet repair. Highly recommend for any of your plumbing issues.

Colebee and Brody were professional and awesome. He help me add a loop for the water softener in my basement and did the plumbing for my kitchen remodel. They will clean up the site really well and I am happy with the experience.
