Local water heater repair for Plymouth homes
In Plymouth, as in the rest of Litchfield County, water heaters work hardest in winter, when cold incoming water makes them run longer. That's when weak parts tend to fail. Calls come in from all over town, including Terryville and Pequabuck.
Natural gas mains don't reach much of Plymouth, so local homes typically rely on electric, propane or oil, often making hot water off the boiler through an indirect tank or tankless coil.
Plymouth has plenty of older homes, and with them come older plumbing layouts: water heaters venting into masonry chimneys, corroded fittings and basements that weren't built with modern equipment in mind.
Many Plymouth 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.
