Prevent expensive breakdowns and extend your water heater’s life with professional maintenance that actually works.
Your water heater works hard every day, heating hundreds of gallons for showers, dishes, and laundry. Without regular maintenance, sediment builds up, components wear out faster, and efficiency drops.
Regular water heater maintenance keeps your system running at peak performance. You’ll get consistent hot water temperature, lower energy bills, and years of additional life from your equipment. Most importantly, you avoid those 6 AM cold showers when your water heater decides to quit without warning.
Lincoln’s hard water makes maintenance even more critical. The mineral deposits that build up in your tank and on your heating elements can cut your water heater’s lifespan in half if left unchecked. Professional maintenance removes these deposits and keeps everything running smoothly.
CG Plumbing has been maintaining water heaters throughout Lincoln and the surrounding areas for years. We understand how Lincoln’s water conditions affect your equipment and what it takes to keep systems running efficiently.
Every technician is licensed, insured, and trained on both traditional tank and modern tankless water heater systems. We have built our reputation on straightforward communication, fair pricing, and maintenance that actually prevents problems instead of just checking boxes.
When you call CG Plumbing, you’re working with professionals who live and work in your community. We understand the local water quality challenges and have the experience to keep your hot water reliable year-round.
The maintenance process starts with a complete system inspection. Our technician checks all connections, examines the tank or heat exchanger for signs of wear, and tests safety features like pressure relief valves and gas connections.
Next comes the cleaning phase. For tank water heaters, this means draining the tank to remove sediment buildup and flushing the system with fresh water. Tankless units get descaled to remove mineral deposits from the heat exchanger. The anode rod gets inspected and replaced if needed to prevent tank corrosion.
Finally, everything gets tested and calibrated. Temperature settings are verified, all safety systems are checked, and you receive a detailed report of what was done and any recommendations for future service. The whole process typically takes 60-90 minutes, and you’ll have documentation for warranty purposes.
