Heating element failure from hard water scale
Why it happens here
Westminister's water carries a lot of dissolved minerals. Those minerals coat the heating element, insulate it, and force it to run hotter until it burns out. Most electric tank failures here trace back to this.
Our approach
We test element resistance, flush the tank to remove sediment, and install a new element with a fresh gasket. For homes with recurring issues, we recommend a maintenance flush and a fresh anode rod to slow the cycle down.
