Signs Your Anode Rod Needs Replacement When it comes to maintaining your water heater, there’s a crucial component working quietly behind the scenes to keep your system in tip-top shape: the anode rod. This important element plays a vital role in preventing corrosion, ensuring your water heater lasts as long as possible. But what exactly is an anode rod, what is its purpose, and how do you know when it's time for a replacement? Let’s dive in and explore everything you need to know. What is an Anode Rod? An anode rod is a sacrificial metal rod that is inserted into your water heater’s tank. Typically made of magnesium, aluminum, or a combination of these metals, the anode rod is designed to attract corrosive elements in the water. This process is known as electrolysis, where the rod sacrifices itself to protect the steel lining of your water heater from rusting. Without a functional anode rod, your water heater tank would quickly corrode, leading to leaks and eventual failure. The Purpose of the Anode Rod The primary purpose of the anode rod is to extend the life of your water heater. By attracting corrosive elements, it prevents these elements from attacking the tank itself. This sacrificial action preserves the integrity of your water heater, helping you avoid costly repairs or replacements. In essence, the anode rod is a small investment that pays off significantly in the long run by safeguarding your water heater. Signs Your Anode Rod is Bad Over time, the anode rod will degrade and become less effective. It’s essential to recognize the signs of a failing anode rod to prevent damage to your water heater. Here are some indicators that your anode rod may need replacing: Rust-Colored Water : If you notice rust-colored water coming from your hot water taps, it could be a sign that your anode rod is no longer protecting your tank from corrosion. Unpleasant Odors : A failing anode rod can cause your water to develop a rotten egg smell, due to the reaction between the rod and bacteria in the water. Visible Corrosion : During a routine inspection, if you see that the anode rod is significantly corroded or covered in a thick layer of calcium, it’s time for a replacement. Decreased Hot Water Pressure : Corrosion buildup can lead to blockages, reducing the water pressure in your hot water lines. When to Replace the Anode Rod The lifespan of an anode rod can vary depending on the quality of your water and the type of rod used. Generally, it’s recommended to check your anode rod every 2-3 years. However, if you have hard water, you may need to inspect it more frequently. A good rule of thumb is to replace the anode rod when it’s consumed more than 50% of its original thickness or if it’s heavily corroded. Get It Professionally Checked With Express Plumbing and Heating Replacing an anode rod may seem like a simple task, but it involves draining the tank, removing the old rod, and installing the new one correctly. At Express Plumbing and Heating, we can guarantee the job is done safely and efficiently. Our experienced technicians have the expertise to inspect, replace, and maintain your water heater’s anode rod, helping to extend the life of your system and keep it running smoothly. Conclusion The anode rod is a vital component of your water heater, protecting it from corrosion and extending its lifespan. By understanding what an anode rod is, recognizing the signs of a failing rod, and knowing when to replace it, you can ensure your water heater remains in excellent condition.

Mitigating Risk: The Long-Term Effects of Poly-B Piping on Your Property Polybutylene (Poly-B) piping was once a popular choice for residential plumbing due to its low cost and ease of installation. However, over time, it has become evident that Poly-B pipes are prone to failure, leading to significant issues for homeowners. In this post, we'll discuss the problems associated with Poly-B piping, the impact on insurance and home sales, and why you should consider replacing it. Why Poly-B Piping is Problematic Poly-B piping was widely used in homes built between the 1970s and 1990s. Unfortunately, these pipes have been found to degrade over time, often leading to leaks and water damage without any warning. The primary issues with Poly-B include: Chemical Reactions: Poly-B pipes are susceptible to damage from chlorine and other chemicals commonly found in municipal water supplies. Cracks and Leaks: Over time, the pipes can become brittle and develop cracks, leading to leaks that can cause extensive water damage. Harsh winters can exacerbate the problem, making the material more likely to crack under freezing temperatures. Inconsistent Quality: The quality of Poly-B piping can vary, leading to unpredictable performance and increased risk of failure. Insurance Challenges with Poly-B Piping Insurance companies are well aware of the risks associated with Poly-B piping and often take a cautious approach when insuring homes with this type of plumbing. Here are some of the challenges you might face: Higher Premiums: Many insurance companies will charge higher premiums for homes with Poly-B piping due to the increased risk of water damage. In Alberta, local insurers may be particularly stringent, given the heightened risk posed by the province's cold climate. Limited Coverage: Some insurers may offer limited coverage, excluding property coverage, flood damage or other water-related incidents directly linked to Poly-B pipe failure. Replacement Deadlines: Insurance companies might impose a deadline by which the Poly-B piping must be replaced, failing which coverage may be denied. Denial of Coverage: Worst case, some insurers may outright refuse to provide coverage for homes with Poly-B piping. Building codes have evolved and have discontinued the use of Poly-B piping in 2005 and homes with this plumbing may not meet current standards. Impact On Your Home Saleability Poly-B piping can also significantly impact the saleability of your home. Prospective buyers are becoming increasingly aware of the issues associated with Poly-B and may be hesitant to purchase a home with this type of plumbing. Here’s how it can affect the sale of your home: Lower Sale Price: Buyers may request a reduction in the sale price to cover the cost of replacing the Poly-B piping. In Alberta, where the real estate market is acutely aware of Poly-B issues, this can be a significant factor. Sale Conditions: Some buyers may include a condition in the sale agreement that requires the Poly-B piping to be replaced and any resulting drywall repairs to be completed before closing. Buyer Hesitation: The presence of Poly-B piping can be a deal-breaker for some buyers, leading them to walk away from the sale altogether. Home inspectors routinely check for this type of plumbing, making it a critical point during the sale process. Challenges in Replacing Poly-B Piping Replacing Poly-B piping can be a complex and time-consuming process. Some areas of your home, such as behind shower valves or within walls, can be particularly tricky to access and replace. However, the benefits of replacing Poly-B far outweigh the temporary inconvenience. By upgrading to modern, reliable piping, you can protect your home from potential water damage and improve its value and insurability.

Finding Your Perfect Fit: A Guide to Sizing Your Water Heater Are you in the market for a new water heater but unsure about the right size for your home? Selecting the correct size is crucial for ensuring that your household has a reliable supply of hot water without wasting energy or space. In this guide, we'll walk you through the factors to consider when choosing a water heater size, provide an overview of the available options, and offer tips for making the right decision. Factors to Consider When Choosing the Size: Household Size: The number of people in your household is a critical factor in determining the size of the water heater you need. Larger households will require a bigger tank or a higher capacity tankless water heater to meet the demand for hot water. Hot Water Usage Patterns: Consider your household's peak hot water usage times, such as mornings when everyone is getting ready for work or school. If multiple hot water outlets are used simultaneously, a larger tank or a higher flow rate for tankless water heaters may be necessary. Space Constraints: The physical space available for installing a water heater will impact your choice. Tankless water heaters are a great option for small spaces since they are compact and can be mounted on a wall. Energy Efficiency: While larger water heaters may provide more hot water, they also consume more energy. Consider the energy efficiency of the water heater you choose to minimize energy waste and lower utility bills. Overview of Available Options: When choosing a water heater size, it's important to understand the available options. Water heaters come in a variety of sizes, typically measured in gallons for tank-style heaters and litres per minute for tankless heaters. Here's a breakdown of the common sizes available for each type: Tank Water Heaters: • 30-40 Gallons: Suitable for apartments or small households with one to two people. • 50-60 Gallons: Ideal for households with two to four people. • Over 60 Gallons: Suitable for households with more than four people or higher hot water demands. Tankless Water Heaters: • 7-11 L/min: Suitable for point-of-use applications or single fixtures. • 12-25 L/min: Can serve multiple fixtures simultaneously in small to medium-sized households. • 26+ L/min: Suitable for larger households or homes with high hot water demands. Tips for Choosing the Right Size: Calculate Your Peak Hour Demand: Determine your household's peak hour demand for hot water by estimating the total gallons of hot water used during the busiest hour of the day. This will help you choose a water heater with the appropriate capacity. Consider Recovery Rate: The recovery rate of a water heater refers to how quickly it can heat a new supply of water. A higher recovery rate is important if you have a large household or high hot water demand. Consult a Professional: If you're unsure about the right size water heater for your home, consider consulting a professional plumber. They can assess your hot water needs and recommend the best option based on your specific requirements. Choosing the right size water heater is essential for meeting your household's hot water needs efficiently. By considering factors such as household size, hot water usage patterns, and available space, as well as understanding the different sizes and types of water heaters available, you can select a water heater that provides ample hot water without unnecessary energy waste.
