Annual Water Heater Inspection

Water Heaters / Calorifiers / Hot Water Storage Vessels contain large amounts of stored hot water which will be distributed throughout the property to the various hot water outlets. It is an essential part of maintenance to carry out thorough inspections of these systems. Flushing/purging of the drain valve and internal inspections (if practical) should be carried out at least annually to check the condition of the water within the vessel. The temperature should also be noted to ensure that stratification is not present. The element/heat source should be descaled if the scale build-up is present.
