Why doesn't my old water heater make as much hot water as it used to?

You might have sediment buildup in your tank. As water heaters age, they tend to accumulate sediment and lime deposits. If the heaters are not cleaned periodically, the sediment may rise to a level that will act as a barrier between the burner and the water, making it harder to heat. An article published in a national ASPE plumbing journal states: for every half inch of sediment on the bottom of a gas fired water heater, it requires 70% more fuel to heat the water.   Neelly Realty Services has a proven 10 year home, commercial, and industrial inspection record, and is experienced in arbitration and representation involving construction related issues.
