NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO PROTECT YOUR HOME AGAINST WATER HEATER LEAKS.
An estimated 5 million homes will experience a water heater leak this year. What would a leak do to YOUR property?
No matter how good the water heater, chances are it will fail within seven to tens years. Climate changes, corrosion, and water quality all contribute to the tank’s deterioration, so eventually it will leak and need to be replaced. BOT HOW CAN YOU BE SURE YOU’LL BE THERE WHEN THE TANK FAILS? CAN YOU AFFORD THE DAMAGE AND INCONVENIENCE OF A FLOOD?
An undetected leak spells disaster.
When a water heater leak goes unnoticed, the tank keeps refilling…and leaking. Soon, water pressure turns a small crack in the tank into a gash, releasing hundreds, even thousands of gallons of water into the dwelling. Imagine the damage to your floors and possessions! What’s more, a gas-fired water heater poses an additional risk, since water can snuff the pilot light, allowing gas to escape.
Prevent flooding before it happens.
Ask your contractor to install a WAGS (Water And Gas Safety) valve on your water heater. It’s the surest protection against catastrophic flooding that you can buy.
How the WAGS valve works.
A drip pan is stalled under your water heater. The WAGS valve is attached to the water source, then to the water heater. If a leak occurs, a water-soluble disc in the WAGS dissolves, releasing a powerful spring-loaded piston that closes the flow of water to the tank. In gas-fired water heaters, this action also breaks a fuse that shuts off the gas supply to the heater. WAGS is based on patented fiber element technology developed for the British Royal Airforce to inflate life jackets automatically. It’s highly reliable, totally mechanical, and requires no additional power source.
Install a WAGS now.
No water heater installation is complete without the WAGS valve. A qualified plumber can add the WAGS as part of a new or existing installation. Either way, for just a few more dollars, you can enjoy the peace-of-mind that comes from knowing your property is protected from water heater failure once and for all.
