Flushing your water heater twice a year is a good idea to keep hard water deposits from building up. It will make your water heater last a lot longer. There is a drain valve at the bottom of the tank. All you have to do is hook a hose up and flush a gallon or two out. Remember this is HOT WATER, so be aware so that you don’t get burned. Call us, Lakeside Custom Plumbing, if you need any info. 208-691-9356

Fall is the time to think about winterization. Make sure to disconnect all hoses from outdoor faucets. If your house has a crawlspace, close all the vents around the house. These two things will help prevent a freeze up and broken pipes. If you need any advise call Lakeside Custom Plumbing @ 208-691-9356.
