Is your water heating device still under warranty? If your tank is over five years old, there is a chance you may be out of warranty. water drain water heating devices can cause significant damage, peculiarly if in the attic.

Considering the benefit of a warranty change when the water heating device is 4-5 years old with a 6 yr. warranty, the customer should really consider if this is a wise choice or if at that point, they should simply purchase a new water heating device and get the complete warranty protection of the new water heating device. Warranties are simple to validate. Simply note the date, brand, model, whether it's electric or gas, and the size of the tank.
