HELPFUL ANSWERS
Questions About Flushing and Sediment
Understand what this service can and cannot tell you.
What causes sediment buildup in a water heater?
Minerals and particles in water can settle in a storage tank over time. The amount and effect vary by system and use.
Can sediment cause popping or rumbling noises?
It can sometimes be associated with those sounds, but noise alone does not confirm sediment is the cause.
Does flushing fix every water heater problem?
No. Heating, control, or other system issues can produce similar symptoms. Flushing is useful only when it suits the condition found.

Describe any noise, slower recovery, or change in available hot water. An assessment can help determine if flushing is appropriate.
