Yes, water heater problems, particularly related to sediment buildup, are quite common in our area. Many Marlborough homes use well water, which can contain minerals that settle at the bottom of the tank, reducing efficiency and potentially causing damage. Our technicians are experienced in diagnosing and resolving this local issue. We can flush the tank to remove sediment and assess if a repair or replacement is the most practical solution for your home's hot water needs.

Preventing frozen pipes is crucial for Marlborough homeowners. We recommend insulating pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics, and garages, and keeping cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing during extreme cold. Most importantly, know the location of your main water shut-off valve. If you're going away, consider having a professional from Keating Plumbing & Heating perform a winterization check. Our team can also install pipe insulation or heat tape to protect vulnerable lines from our harsh New Hampshire winters.
