Draining water heaters occasionally is a great way to extend the life of your unit. This one was 26 years old and popped a leak in the tank, so it has lived it’s useful life. As you can see, the water coming out of it was almost black. That’s a mix of sediment and rust from the tank. A few hours later this customer had a brand new gas water heater installed with all new exhaust piping, new gas supply line, and a recommendation to drain it occasionally!
