Local water heater repair for Clinton homes
Clinton is one of the Middlesex County towns we cover, and its homeowners call us for the same reasons everyone does: no hot water, a leak under the tank or a unit that's finally worn out.
Without natural gas on most roads in Clinton, hot water usually comes from an electric tank, a propane unit or the home's oil boiler. Each one fails in its own way, so tell us which you have when you call.
Near the water, basements can be damp or flood-prone, and corrosion on fittings and controls is more common. In flood zones, equipment sometimes has to be raised when it's replaced.
Many Clinton homes draw water from private wells. Well water often carries sediment, iron or minerals that settle at the bottom of a tank, cause popping and rumbling, bury electric elements and shorten the tank's life. A sulfur or rotten-egg smell from the hot water is also more common with well water; it usually comes from a reaction with the anode rod. Annual flushing and the right anode rod go a long way.
