Premature tank failure from saltwater corrosion
Why it happens here
Homes within a mile of the harbor sit in salt-laden air year-round. That air attacks the tank shell, the anode rod, and every metal fitting in the closet. Tanks that should last twelve years often fail at seven or eight.
Our approach
We install corrosion-resistant tanks and dielectric unions to break the galvanic circuit. On waterfront properties we recommend a powered anode or a six-month rod inspection instead of waiting for the annual check.
