You can increase the efficiency and extend the life of your water heater by flushing it out. Any sediment in the cold water entering the water heater will fall to the bottom of the water heater because it is heavier than the water. In many cases the water heater actually becomes the filter for the hot water lines in your house - which it obviously is not designed to do.
How does this happen, you ask? Even though the water enters the top of the water heater, there is a tube (known as the water heater dip tube) that forces the water to the bottom of the tank. If the water heater did not have this dip tube, then cold water entering the top of the tank would travel straight - directly across the tank to the hot water outlet and you would have cold water in your hot water lines.

The first thing to do in a water damage situation is to turn the water off at the optimal point. We can then find the source of the problem and stop the leak with the proper repairs. Once the leak is found and the water flow is stopped how do I make sure the water damage is detected and removed properly with the dry out process?
