About this service
The anode rod is a sacrificial metal component inside your tank that attracts corrosive elements to prevent the steel lining from rusting. If you notice a rotten egg smell in your water or see signs of sediment buildup, it is time to have the rod inspected. Replacing it every few years can significantly extend the lifespan of your unit. Service costs vary based on the tank type and labor involved, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
