Chester questions
Popping or rumbling usually means sediment has built up in the bottom of the tank. Chester's well water often carries minerals that settle out as the water heats. Steam bubbles push through that layer and pop. A flush can help if the tank is not too far gone; heavy build-up may mean replacement.
Pilot, thermocouple or igniter usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, and electric element or thermostat takes about 1 to 2 hours. We are based right here in Chester, so there is no long drive before the work starts. We confirm the time with you when you book.
Sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under it boils and pops as the burner or element heats. A flush can help if the tank is not too old. On older tanks, heavy sediment can mean the tank is close to the end of its life.
