What Regular Water Heater Maintenance Covers
We are always ready for emergency calls, but most of them are avoidable. These maintenance steps are what prevent an urgent water heater repair from happening in the first place.
Annual Professional Inspection
A yearly inspection is the single most effective step in preventing an emergency water heater call.
Regular Tank Flushing
Flushing removes the sediment that insulates the tank bottom and forces the unit to work harder to heat.
Anode Rod Checks
The sacrificial anode rod is what prevents tank corrosion. Once depleted, the tank itself starts to go.
Relief Valve Testing
The temperature and pressure relief valve is the safety device on the tank. It needs verifying, not assuming.
Monitoring for Unusual Sounds
Popping or rumbling is sediment. Catching it early is the difference between a flush and a replacement.
Temperature Setting Review
A correctly set thermostat protects against scalding and stops the unit heating longer than it needs to.

3 months agoThomas was professional and went a step above. Did a great job to show me everything that I had to keep an eye on and cleaned up like he wasn’t never there. Price wise I’m on their membership program we bought with our new system. They’ve been good so far and it’s been a few yrs now.
Michelle Mullins
4 months agoShowed up on time. Respectful, kind, and efficient. I’m sure my husband could have replaced the capacitor but for the price and convenience we were happy to spend our money here. They installed our furnace last year and we have always happy with CJS.
Richard Wirey

A Wal
5 months agoWe had an issue with our sump pump going off, even though there wasn’t any water problem, and it turned out the entire unit needed to be replaced. We called Bassett that morning, and they were able to offer same-day service, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, I received texts and calls keeping me updated that they were still coming, even as other jobs ran longer. I didn’t mind the delay at all—it was clear they were doing their best to fit us in. Josh arrived later in the day and spent a few hours replacing the sump pump. He explained everything clearly and was both informative and understanding throughout the process. He also took the time to look at another issue, took photos and measurements, and said he would follow up after speaking with his boss. What really stood out was his professionalism and attitude. Even after 6 p.m., when he mentioned he still had two more stops to go, he never once rushed or made us feel like just another job. He made us feel like a priority, and that meant a lot. We’re very grateful for the service and would absolutely recommend Bassett, and especially Josh, to others.
Michelle McElwee
7 months agoWe got estimates for a new water softener. I hadn't compared prices anywhere else. After receiving your estimate I called another service. To install and replace it was 5 and 6000 dollars less. Wow what a difference. We are going with the other service. Dale was great. He was very helpful. And so nice. The gal on the phone was also nice. Overall great experience. It just a money thing. Thank you so much Have a nice spring, Michelle
