Professional Plumbing Services You Can Trust
Regular servicing is the key to extending the life of your hot water system and maintaining its efficiency. Tradetek Solutions provides comprehensive water heater servicing for all system types — electric storage, gas storage, continuous flow, solar, and heat pump — across all major brands. Our service includes critical maintenance tasks like anode rod inspection and replacement, tempering valve testing, pressure relief valve testing, thermostat calibration, and sediment flushing that most homeowners overlook.
Our water heater service goes beyond a basic check-up. We perform a complete system assessment covering the tank condition (for storage systems), heating components, safety devices, pipework, and energy efficiency. We test the sacrificial anode rod — the single most important factor in tank longevity — and replace it if depleted. This one step alone can add 5+ years to your hot water system's life. We provide a written report with recommendations and schedule your next service.
Common Plumbing Issues We Solve
1Depleted Anode Rod
The sacrificial anode rod protects your tank from internal corrosion by corroding in its place. Once fully depleted, the tank itself begins to corrode, eventually leading to leaks and failure. Anode inspection and replacement every 3–5 years is the most effective way to extend tank life.
2Sediment Buildup in Tank
Minerals in the water settle as sediment at the bottom of the tank over time, reducing capacity, insulating the heating element (increasing energy costs), and accelerating corrosion. Regular flushing removes this sediment and restores efficiency.
3Tempering Valve Failure
Tempering valves mix cold water with hot to deliver water at a safe 50°C at fixtures, preventing scalding. These valves can fail or drift out of calibration, delivering dangerously hot water. Annual testing is essential for safety compliance.
4Inefficient Operation
An unserviced hot water system can use significantly more energy than necessary due to sediment buildup, incorrect thermostat settings, or degraded insulation. Regular servicing maintains peak efficiency and keeps your energy bills in check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our plumbing services answered by our experts
How often should I service my hot water system?
How often should I service my hot water system?
We recommend servicing every 3–5 years as a minimum, with annual checks for gas systems (to ensure safe combustion) and systems over 8 years old. Regular servicing extends system life by years and maintains efficiency.
What does a hot water service include?
What does a hot water service include?
Our service includes anode rod inspection/replacement, pressure relief valve test, tempering valve test and calibration, thermostat check, element test (electric), burner and flue inspection (gas), sediment flush, pipework inspection, and a written system condition report.
Can servicing really extend my system's life?
Can servicing really extend my system's life?
Yes, significantly. The anode rod replacement alone can add 5+ years to a tank's life. A well-maintained hot water system can last 15+ years, while a neglected one may fail in 8–10 years. Servicing is a small cost compared to premature replacement.
My hot water smells like rotten eggs — what causes this?
My hot water smells like rotten eggs — what causes this?
A sulphur (rotten egg) smell in hot water is caused by bacteria reacting with the sacrificial anode rod, particularly in areas with high-sulphate water. Replacing the magnesium anode with an aluminium/zinc anode and flushing the tank usually resolves this issue.
Do you service all brands of hot water systems?
Do you service all brands of hot water systems?
