Most water heaters good working age is between 10-12 years. When near this age, homeowners should consider budgeting for a replacement or replace soon to prevent unexpected failure and possible further damage if not properly installed with drain pans and proper TPRV (Temperature Pressure Relief Valve) discharge lines.
