- An anode is a sacrificial rod that will corrode away completely before the water begins to attack the steel water tank. As long as anode rods are regularly checked and replaced, your water heater tank will be protected from corrosion.

Water Damage & Roof Water Proofing
- Water Tightness Test – WWT RVRepairs do a water tightness test. We use a moisture meter to record the moisture content within your van.
- Roof water proofing. Sometimes it is better to waterproof the entire roof rather than patching areas. We have had a lot of success with this process by using a UV- resistant silicone-based product.
