Lazer Home Services: Your Local Water Heater Maintenance Experts

Family operated and locally owned since 2001, Lazer Home Services has built its name on water heater maintenance Des Moines neighbors can count on. Every job is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Call us today to schedule your service: (515) 212-6042.

• How often should I service my unit in Des Moines? At least once a year, especially with the metro’s hard water, which builds sediment quickly. Regular flushing protects efficiency and extends the unit’s life.
• What does a tune-up include? We flush the tank, inspect the anode rod, test the pressure-relief valve, and check connections, the thermostat, and the burner or elements.
• Why does hard water matter for my heater? Hard Des Moines water leaves mineral sediment in the tank that insulates the burner, cuts efficiency, and shortens the unit’s life. Flushing removes it.
• Are your plumbers licensed and insured? Every Lazer plumber is fully licensed and insured, and we complete all work to code.

During a water heater maintenance call, our licensed technicians flush out sediment, check the anode rod, and test the controls; backing every maintenance call with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If a tune-up turns up a real fault, we also handle water heater repair, part of our Des Moines water heater services.

Your water heater usually lets you know when it’s overdue for service. Watch for signs like:
• Hot water that runs out sooner
• Rumbling or popping noises
• Rusty or cloudy hot water
• More than a year since your last flush
Because Des Moines hard water builds sediment fast, an annual flush protects the tank’s lifespan. Call (515) 212-6042 to book your service.

What Maintenance Prevents

A yearly service heads off the failures that shorten a water heater’s life. These are the three it prevents most for Des Moines homeowners:

Hard-water sediment insulates the burner and forces the unit to work harder, raising bills. We flush it out so your unit runs efficiently. Regular flushing keeps it from rebuilding to a damaging level. In hard-water Des Moines, sediment can rebuild within a year, which is exactly why an annual flush is worth it here. We leave you a simple record of what we checked so you can track the unit’s health year over year.

A spent anode rod lets the tank corrode from the inside. We inspect and replace it when needed so the tank lasts its full life rather than failing early. It is one of the cheapest ways to protect the whole unit. We note the rod’s condition each visit so you know well ahead of time when it is due. Replacing a spent rod on schedule is far cheaper than replacing a corroded tank.

A faulty pressure-relief valve is a real safety concern. We test it during every visit and correct any issue so the unit operates safely. Catching it during maintenance is far better than discovering it during a failure. A single short visit each year is the cheapest insurance against a cold-shower morning and a failed tank.
