We recently got an emergency call from a customer in Frisco whose water heater burst over the weekend. The unit was only 6-7 years old, which isn’t that old, but it still failed without warning.
Tiny cracks appeared inside the tank, and within hours it turned into a major leak. The garage was completely flooded, the walls got soaked, and mold started spreading. A small issue quickly became a big, expensive problem.
Why Maintenance Matters
To prevent this kind of emergency, we always recommend:
• Flush your water heater once a year to remove sediment.
• Replace the anode rod on time to stop corrosion.
• Install an expansion tank to reduce pressure and extend the life of your water heater.
What We Did for This Customer
• Installed a brand-new water heater.
• Replaced both supply lines.
• Added a new shut-off valve.
• Installed an expansion tank (as recommended by all manufacturers).
The installation passed city inspection, the system looks perfect, and most importantly – the customer is safe and satisfied.
Final Thoughts A water heater can fail at night, on a weekend, or during a holiday. That’s why having an emergency plumber in Frisco is so important.
