HOUSTON \u2013 Water heaters can go years without getting much attention because they are often tucked away in a garage, utility room or other area of the home. But routine maintenance can help homeowners identify potential problems before they become more serious.<\/p>\n

Traditional water heaters continuously heat and store water in a tank. Over time, components can wear out and buildup and corrosion can develop inside the system.<\/p>\n

According to Mission AC & Plumbing<\/a>, an aging water heater could become a problem and lead to costly damage. Owner David Lewis and master plumber Robert Koster stopped by the \u201cHouston Life\u201d studio to share tips for keeping your water heater running smoothly.<\/p>\n

Watch their interview in the video above.<\/p>\n

Some warning signs include:<\/p>\n

Leaking around the tank or connections<\/p>\n

Discolored or rusty-looking water<\/p>\n

Unusual noises coming from the tank<\/p>\n

Inconsistent water temperatures<\/p>\n

Little or no hot water<\/p>\n

Regular maintenance may help prevent bigger problems. The company offers water heater repair, installation and maintenance services for Houston-area homeowners, including traditional and tankless water heaters.<\/p>\n

A special offer for Houston Life viewers<\/p>\n

For this week only, Houston Life viewers can receive an $89 water heater flush or $250 off a new tank if a unit needs to be replaced when using code KPRCLIFE.<\/p>\n
