Keep your home’s hot water system running efficiently and safely with a comprehensive water heater flush and tune-up from Lasting Legacy Plumbing Heating and Air. Our meticulous process removes harmful sediment buildup, checks for hidden damage, and protects your water heater’s lifespan—saving you money and preventing unexpected breakdowns.
If you're asking yourself, "Is it necessary to flush my water heater?"—the answer is a resounding YES. At Lasting Legacy, we’ve cut open countless old tanks and seen the truth firsthand (see for yourself!): layers of rust, minerals, and sediment caked at the bottom of the tank. This buildup doesn’t just affect your water quality—it shortens the life of your system, reduces efficiency, and drives up your energy bill.
Regular flushing is the only way to protect your investment and keep your hot water flowing cleanly and safely.
At Lasting Legacy Plumbing, Heating & Air, we don’t just do a quick check—we call it a Meticulous Flush for a reason. Our expert, licensed plumbers go beyond the basics, performing a full electrical, mechanical, and safety inspection, along with a camera inspection to keep your system running at peak performance.

Over time, minerals, rust, and debris build up inside your water heater—especially if you live in an area with hard water (like much of the Inland Empire). This sediment settles at the bottom of your tank, forming a thick layer that forces your system to work harder and heat less efficiently.
Here’s what sediment buildup can lead to:
♦ Longer wait times for hot water
♦ Increased energy bills
♦ Loud banging, popping, or rumbling noises
♦ Premature system failure
♦ Rusty or discolored water
Just like changing the oil in your car, flushing your water heater annually keeps everything running smoothly. It helps extend the lifespan of the unit, improves heating performance, and keeps your water cleaner and safer for everyday use.
If you've never had your water heater flushed, there could be inches of sludge sitting inside your tank right now.
Our team at Lasting Legacy offers affordable water heater maintenance that includes a full flush, system inspection, and performance check—so you don’t have to wonder what’s lurking inside your tank.
