Anode Rod Replacement & Corrosion Prevention
One of the Most Overlooked — and Most Important — Services
Most homeowners have never heard of an anode rod, yet it plays a critical role in protecting water heaters from corrosion. At ExpertPipe Rooter, we provide anode rod inspections and replacements throughout Cleveland, Solon, Pepper Pike, Beachwood, and surrounding areas.
An anode rod is designed to attract corrosive elements in the water, sacrificing itself to protect the steel tank. Once the rod is depleted, corrosion begins attacking the tank directly — leading to leaks, rust, and eventual failure.
Signs of a depleted anode rod include:
Rust-colored or metallic-tasting water
Premature tank corrosion
Shortened water heater lifespan
Replacing an anode rod is a simple, affordable service that can add years to a water heater’s life. Unfortunately, many water heaters fail prematurely because this step is ignored.
As part of our water heater maintenance services, we evaluate anode condition and recommend replacement when appropriate. This proactive approach helps homeowners avoid costly replacements and unexpected water damage.
As a local, 5-star rated Cleveland plumbing company, we focus on protecting your investment — not selling unnecessary equipment.
