There are several reasons why you should have your water heater flushed! Flushing will save you money on energy cost. Also, the sediment that builds in the bottom of the tank displaces your hot water volume. This gives you less available hot water, not to mention the calcium, rust, dirt, scale and iron in the bottom of the tank. Bacteria can easily grow in the older tank water heaters sometimes putting off a smell of sulfur or rotten egg odor.

Once you have a technician preform the first flushing and actually seeing the sediment first hand, you might reconsider making hot tea or hot chocolate directly from the hot water tap. The dirt being flushed out of the bottom of the water tank is pretty disgusting!
