Sediment builds up in water heaters over time, reducing efficiency and straining heating elements — especially in Summerville and Goose Creek where hard water is common. Flushing your tank annually clears debris, restores hot water flow, and prolongs equipment life. Legacy Home Helpers’ HVAC-certified team serves Charleston, Summerville, Goose Creek, and nearby areas — ensuring your system runs safely and efficiently.
Step-by-Step Guide
Turn off power or gas supply to the heater.
Shut off the cold water feed.
Attach a hose to the drain valve and run it to a safe outlet.
Open the valve and drain the tank fully.
Flush with cold water until it runs clear.
Close the valve, refill the tank, and restore power or ignition.
Test hot water flow and temperature.
