Water Heater Repair in Burgaw
Burgaw is the Pender County seat, home to the historic courthouse square and the NC Blueberry Festival every June. It’s also a town that knows what floodwater can do.
Floods and water heaters
During Hurricane Florence in 2018, the Northeast Cape Fear River at Burgaw crested more than 3 feet above the record set by Hurricane Floyd in 1999, and thousands of buildings in Pender County were damaged by flooding. A water heater that has been in floodwater is not safe to restart. If your home is in a low area, a replacement is a good time to raise the heater or move it higher, which needs a permit.
Town water and sediment
Burgaw’s town system runs on groundwater. Groundwater carries more minerals than river water, and over the years some of them settle in a tank as sediment. A yearly flush keeps a heater running longer and quieter.
