    Default Plumbers?

    Just wondering if there's any plumbing help to be found. My hot water pressure has gotten REALLY low, and I've tried everything an idiot would ( flushed it twice)

    The tank is about 7 years old, it should be ok, but who knows...any suggestions?

    Likely time for a new tank.

    Could be the plastic dip-tube has deteriorated and pieces of the plastic are stuck in your pipes. If this is the case, you'll have to disconnect the tank to fix it.

    My neighbour had this happen. The tank was fine. However on the line exiting the tank, there was a huge calcium build up that restricted the flow. He had to get a guy in to replace that section and everything worked fine after that.

    A hot water tank lasts like 15 year, not 7...
