At Mr Rooter Plumbing we care about the health and safety of the community, please read the following on water heater safety.
Your gas water heater might look safe, but if it’s improperly installed or maintained it’s a potential ballistic missile that could erupt with enough force to lift your house off its foundation. Every year a few water heaters explode with devastating results. To make sure yours is safe, follow these simple steps:
- Remove paper, accumulated dust or other combustibles from the heater enclosure.
- Extinguish the pilot light before using flammable liquids or setting off aerosol bug bombs near the unit. Never store combustibles close by.
- If the device is in the garage, raise it so the pilot light is 18 in. above the floor. This can help prevent ignition of gasoline vapors that collect near the floor.
- Inspect the flue for breaks or gaps that could leak deadly exhaust gas. (This is a good practice to do on other gas appliances.)
- Ask a Mr Rooter technician to check the temperature pressure-relief valve, a faucet-like device mounted on the top or side of the heater. Excessively high temperature or pressure causes this valve to open, relieving pressure and preventing a steam explosion.
- Consider installing an automatic gas-shutoff valve (below) that stops the flow of gas if the ground moves or if gas flow increases dramatically. The valve prevents fires when a gas line breaks due to flood, earthquake or other disaster.

Is your hot water heater getting old? Over 10 years old? It is common for old hot water heaters to corrode on the bottom. This will lead to leaking and flooding whatever room it is in. Replace your old heater to avoid damage to the room it’s in and possibly more rooms should you not be home to catch the leak!

A low flow toilet alone uses 20 percent less water per flush. Combine that with an efficient shower head that also uses 20 percent less water, and the utility bill savings are obvious.

Slow leaks and neglecting the general maintenance of your home can result in problems not covered by insurance. Think of maintaining your home like you would your car. Each year you should have your furnace, boiler, hot water tank, sump pumps, and water pressure inspected and maintained by a professional.
Ask your local plumber to review the items below to help reduce future problems in your home:
change the filter on the furnace
clean the air ducts and vents for the furnace, tank, boiler and clothes dryer
flush the water in the boiler and hot water tank
have the burner assembly on your water heater or heat exchanger cleaned professionally annually
clean pumps to remove dirt and debris
check the water pressure to ensure it is at a safe level
Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing at 602-635-3360 to see about a complimentary plumbing check-up that can ease your maintenance worries. Check out our web site today for some helpful home tips at
