Burst Water Heater Cleanup and Repair

Burst Hot Water Heater 

It's the scenario every homeowner dreads: You're at work, on the road or on vacation when you get a call from a neighbor or the fire department. Your old water heater has finally kicked the bucket and burst all over your basement. Along with dozens of gallons of water, you now have to deal with the cleanup of rust and other harmful substances that may take months to get completely out of your home.

Unfortunately, this is an inevitable result of all storage-type water heaters regardless of how faithfully you maintain them. Eventually, the buildup of mineral deposits or old machinery could cause a catastrophic failure that leaves your house a mess, but the range of damage could be much worse depending on several factors around your home. If you still supply your house with a storage-type heater but have noticed it running a little slower lately, you might want to brush up on how devastating a burst water heater can be.

Apart from the obvious threat of water damage, burst tanks do not always automatically shut off, and the heating element could continue to run for hours if nobody is around to shut the power off. In the worst-case scenario, an exposed flame will start a fire that can cause much more destruction than water from your heater ever could.

With even a miniscule chance of catastrophic damage cause by faulty water heaters, it's a wonder why homeowners would put up with the risk at all – especially when tankless water heaters offer improved performance with none of the risk involved with their old-fashioned home-heating counterparts.
