A water heater inspection in the Spokane area typically costs $79 to $149 as a stand-alone service, and is often included free when bundled with other plumbing work or a maintenance plan visit. The inspection covers the tank, connections, anode rod, gas or electric supply, T&P valve, and venting.

What’s checked

  • Tank condition — corrosion, leaks, age
  • Anode rod wear (replace if mostly consumed)
  • Temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve test
  • Gas line, vent connector, and combustion air (gas models)
  • Electrical elements and thermostat operation (electric models)
  • Water hardness check and recommended flush

Annual inspections are the single best way to extend a water heater’s life and catch leaks before they flood your space. Book through our water heater maintenance service or as part of a full plumbing inspection.
