Water Heater Inspections in Dallas / Fort Worth, TX
Dallas / Fort Worth Water Heater Inspections
Cowtown Water Heaters provides water heater inspections throughout Dallas / Fort Worth, TX.
A water heater inspection is essential to identifying potential issues with your unit. For instance, we check the anode rod for wire wear to prevent rust from eating through the steel. We also test the pressure relief valve to ensure it opens properly, as they can seize from mineral buildup and fail to open in an emergency.
For gas water heaters, our team inspects the burner assembly and flue pipe for signs of incomplete combustion, which is a carbon monoxide risk. For electric water heaters, we test the heating elements and check for voltage drops that slow the heating process.
Gas Water Heater InspectionsOur Cowtown technicians provide gas and propane unit inspections to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Hot Water Heater InspectionsOur family-owned business checks your hot water heater for sediment buildup and other issues that increase energy bills and lessen performance.
Water Heater Anode Rod InspectionsOur Fort Worth-raised technicians examine your water heater anode rod to determine if it needs replacement.
Tankless Water Heater InspectionsOur friendly technicians (not corporate hires owned by private equity) inspect your tankless water heater to prevent future performance issues.
Annual Water Heater InspectionsOur staff, led by RMP Javier Reyes, sets you up with an annual water-heater maintenance program that includes inspections.
Electric Water Heater InspectionOur Texas-native staff inspects your electric water heater to ensure it is operating at peak efficiency.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs an Inspection
The following issues indicate your unit requires a complete water heater inspection:
Consistently low water temperature (never hot enough)
Discolored water when turned to hot
Puddles near the tank
Rumbling or banging noises when the unit fires up
Higher gas or electric bills without changing your usage patterns
The pilot light goes out on gas models more than once a month
Your unit may appear perfectly fine from the outside and still have significant internal issues. This is especially true in older brick homes or ranch-style homes around Dallas / Fort Worth.
Inspections generally take about 45 minutes, depending on the extent of the issues that are diagnosed. If we identify a deteriorating anode rod or a faulty valve, we can often replace these on the same day.
For water heaters in homes constructed in the 70s and 80s (with their original plumbing), we also check the supply lines and shutoff valves, both of which can corrode. Corrosion is especially common in brass angle stops (under sinks) that connect to the hot water system.
DFW’s Hard Water Factor
North Texas water is notoriously hard, which means sediment settles at the bottom of water heater tanks, acting like insulation between the burner and water. As a result, your heater will run longer at the same temperature and produce popping sounds as steam bubbles break through the sediment buildup.
During our water heater inspections, we drain a few gallons to evaluate the water. For example, if it looks like sand or smells like sulfur, we know a flushing is required.
In other cases, the anode rod must be replaced. Sediment buildup happens more quickly in TX than in other parts of the country, making inspections that much more essential for longevity.
