Hot water heaters can last decades without a problem, however for insurance purposes, the widely accepted reliable service life of tanked water heaters ranges from 8 to 12 years (or the published warrantied period). How often should you replace hot water heater? Be careful though, there have been rare times when plumbers have gone out to replace a hot water tank and what was discovered was that the leak was unrelated to failure of the tank itself and a routine fix was conducted.
When it comes to hot water tank leaks, it’s a safe bet to say that the leak is non-repairable and that the unit will need to be replaced. Of course, the most common indicator that the hot water tank needs to be replaced is that it is leaking. The bottom line is that we should make calculated decisions to replace our deteriorating hot water tanks well before they can cause pressurized water damage to a home. They are actually big questions with many different answers. How is the hot water tank? Does it need replacing? These are some of the hot water tank questions that I am asked daily while conducting a home inspection.
