Water heaters work hard in the Las Vegas Valley. Our water is among the hardest in the country, roughly 16 to 18 grains per gallon, and that mineral content settles as scale at the bottom of the tank. Scale insulates the water from the burner or elements, wastes energy and shortens the life of the heater. Many tanks here fail years before their warranty suggests they should.
Desert Peak Plumbing Solutions repairs and replaces gas, electric and tankless water heaters for homes, condos and businesses. We diagnose pilot, thermocouple, gas valve and element failures, flush sediment, replace anode rods and, when replacement makes more sense, install a new heater with the venting, seismic strapping and expansion tank that code requires.
