Local water heater repair for Durham homes
Homeowners across Durham call us when their water heater acts up, whether it's a pilot that won't stay lit, a puddle on the basement floor or a tank that's simply too old to trust.
Natural gas mains don't reach much of Durham, so local homes typically rely on electric, propane or oil, often making hot water off the boiler through an indirect tank or tankless coil.
Many Durham 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.
Homes in Durham are spread out, so travel times can be longer than in the cities. Calling early in the day gives you the best shot at a same-day visit.
