Water Heater issue in South Dallas

Most people in United States have water heaters with a tank.  There are a number of people that have made the switch to tankless water heaters for a variety of reasons but most have not due to the added cost.  75% of tank water heaters will fail before the 12 year mark. If you are lucky enough to have your water heater approach the 10 mark, it may be time to change it out as a precautionary measure.  

Washing machine supply lines typically have issues on average around the 9 year mark.  As a preventative measure, have a plumber look at the supply lines and replace parts as necessary.

These are the statistics on average, of course things will happen before some of these timelines are met.  SERVPRO of Southwest Dallas is here to help with any water mitigation damage needs that may arise in your home or commercial building.
