Anode Rod Replacement in Cape Girardeau, MO

The magnesium anode rod sacrifices itself to prevent steel tank corrosion. Melvin's Water Heater Service removes the old rod through the top port when it is less than half its original diameter. A new rod is wrapped with Teflon tape and torqued to manufacturer specs. Some models use a powered anode that requires a small electrical connection. One paragraph notes the difference between magnesium and aluminum rods for odor issues.
Replacement adds years to tank life before leaks develop. Call (833) 774-1697.

Talk to a real person
Why is there no hot water?

A leak from the bottom usually signals tank corrosion or a failed drain valve. Replacement is required once the tank corrodes.
