That means frequent breakdowns and expensive repair bills. Even if it manages to limp along, home owners can...

Here’s a fun fact about Texas that probably noone knows. The state ranks as one of the highest for water hardness in the country.

It’s never a good sign when water is seen on the floor around the water heater. But before panicing, it’s important to figure out where it’s coming from. Upon further investigation, if water is found to be discharged from a small tube that comes out of the top or side of the unit, runs down the side of the tank, and ends near the ground, then the source is likely the temperature pressure relief valve, or relief valve, for short. What does the relief valve do? The relief valv...
