Leaking hot water heater ruins new carpet

Before purchasing new carpet, might we recommend you check your hot water heater?

Here at SERVPRO of Wichita Falls, we respond to a lot of water damage calls. And quite often the culprit is an old hot water heater.

Manufacturers recommend replacing these every ten years. They know the majority of hot water heaters last between eight and tens years.

We also know that even if your hot water heater is in a location that won't cause a lot of damage if there is a leak, even those in the garage could still cause damage to adjoining rooms.

When was the last time you checked your hot water heater? Does it have a drip pan? Is it plumbed to the outside to prevent water damage?
