Our Water Heater Maintenance Services

Routine maintenance isn’t just a good idea—it’s a smart investment in your comfort, energy savings, and peace of mind. Zest Plumbing & Drain provides comprehensive service for both tank and tankless water heaters. Our goal is to keep your system clean, safe, and operating at peak performance.

  • Tank Flushing Service: Sediment buildup can lower efficiency and damage your tank. Our flushing service removes mineral deposits to improve heating speed and extend unit life.
  • Anode Rod Replacement: The anode rod protects your tank from corrosion, but it wears out over time. We inspect and replace it when needed to keep your system in top shape.
  • Tankless System Tune-Ups: Even modern units need attention. We descale and clean your tankless system to prevent buildup and keep hot water flowing efficiently.

Second time using this company. They scheduled the estimate and completed the work the next day. The technician, Wally, was on time, worked efficiently and made sure all the issues were addressed. Reasonably priced and clean quality work. Replaced 3 shut offs and a bathroom sink fixture.

We recently had an emergency plumbing backup at our small business which effectively prevented our business from being able to operate. It was in the evening, and we were concerned about whether we could open our doors the next day. I called and Diana was able to have someone to our facility first thing in the morning - long before we opened our doors for business. Wally showed up on-time, with a motivated attitude. He was a great guy and a true professional. He didn't mess around with trying to chit-chat or upsell unnecessary services, he got right down to business. It's incredibly rare to find a contractor who shows up and essentially says, "You have nothing to worry about. I'm not sure exactly what solution we need just yet, but I know for a fact I have it and I'll get you taken care of." No one enjoys having to call an emergency service, but if you have to, I cannot recommend Zest Plumbing enough. They will solve your problem and they will make your day better while they do it.

Service scheduled 8-12. No call no show. I called and they apologized, came right out, fixed original problems and some I didn’t ask them to.

Jason did an excellent job of diagnosing my issue and replacing my hot water tank. Zest was great to work with. Friendly staff answered my initial call right away and set up the appointment. The service was on time, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The replacement work was done quickly and to my satisfaction.

Wally, the plumber who came out, was knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to explain everything clearly step by step. I really appreciated his thoroughness and professionalism. I highly recommend them.

Len came to my home to evaluate bad smell coming from sinks in newly remodeled master bathroom. Len was a wealth of information on the potential causes and possible remedies. Recommended to use an enzyme product first before getting into more tests such as camera and smoke tests. No pressure at all. Very friendly. Tested water hardness for softener system. Just an all around excellent experience. Len and Zest Plumbing are my plumbers for any future needs. Recommend highly!

Zest Plumbing is my go-to for all plumbing issues. I really appreciate that Zest doesn’t charge you a fee to come out and assess your plumbing issue - you pay only if you decide to hire them for the job. Both Len and Anthony have provided excellent, prompt service.

My water heater finally gave up the ghost after many years of faithful service. It had actually been so many years I couldn’t remember who installed the last one. Starting from scratch then, I found Affordable Plumbing listed as a 5-star reviewed company so I gave them a call. Of course it was on Labor Day Sunday, so I didn’t expect an answer. Yet I was promptly contacted by Diana, to who I related my tale of woe. She appointed me for the following Tuesday, as I told her I could ride out Labor Day no worries. Tuesday morning I get a message saying that my scheduled plumber called out sick…bummer. But Diana gave me the option to have their sister company Zest Plumbing and Drain come out to give me an estimate that afternoon. Well that turned out to be a stroke of luck - sometime just after 1200, the plumber showed up - Mr. Wally Fields. Right away I knew I was dealing with a consummate professional! Wally evaluated my situation, detailed all my options, and explained the procedures that would take place to replace my water heater. Wally has a great attitude, is cheerful and engaging, and answered all my questions (even some plumbing stuff not related to this job). Just a few short hours later, Wally had removed my old WH, correctly installed my new one, and made a believer out of me that there are still high quality, skilled, personable tradespeople out there in this world (my guess is that Zest has a whole bench full of them). Do yourself a favor - next time you need plumbing help - give Zest/Affordable a call…you won’t regret it. And if you’re lucky enough to have Wally Fields show up, well that’s just icing on the cake. Thanks again Wally!!

Very happy with Zest Piumbing. Wally was the plumber who came to our house. Very professional. Best of all, he was knowledgeable and efficient. We hired a "handyman" originally to replace some valves and install new faucets. Everything leaked. Wally came him, quickly identified the mistakes that were made and fixed it. We would have saved time and money had we just used Zest from the start. I will definitely be calling Zest again if I need a plumber and asking for Wally.

I had a 2003 50 gallon water heater that started leaking rust on Saturday morning, So based off of quotes from other plumbing companies, I knew my water heater was toast, and I needed to replace it. I called Affordable Plumbing, Rooter, and Water Heaters and explain my situation, At 8 AM Sunday morning. They would not have had a technician available until Tuesday, so the lady who I spoke to on the phone immediately gave me a compromise which was their sister company Zest Plumbing and Drain, and said she would have a technician out within an hour. I was so shocked because two other plumbing companies that I spoke to on Saturday night said that they wouldn’t be able to get out to my house until Tuesday or Wednesday, which is completely understandable. Given it was the weekend and that’s what I had anticipated originally anyways. Wally, Was the technician who came to my house in the timeframe promised , immediately assessed the situation quoted me, and also gave me a fair price as well. He immediately got to work and replaced my unit, explained everything that he did on it. Everything was brand new, tiptop shape, and his customer service and friendliness were a part of the experience. I truly and highly recommend this company and if you can….request Wally! lol. Great experience during a stressful situation.
