Water Heater Repair in Grantham
Grantham is a rural community on US 13 in southwestern Wayne County, named for the family that first settled it. Homes here are spread out among farmland, and many are on well water.
Homes on well water
Homes around Grantham get water from a county water district or a private well. Well water often carries more iron and minerals than city water, and those settle as sediment in the bottom of a tank. A rotten-egg smell from the hot water only is a common sign of a reaction with the tank’s anode rod.
If you’re on a private well, flushing your tank more than once a year and checking the anode rod regularly can add years to its life. A different anode rod material often fixes the smell.
Rural homes, propane, and electric
Out in the county, most homes use electric or propane water heaters. If you live in a manufactured home, mention it when you call. Manufactured homes usually need a water heater rated for them, and the plumber will bring the right one.

Why does my hot water smell like rotten eggs?
Usually bacteria in the water reacting with the magnesium anode rod inside the tank. It’s common with well water. Replacing the rod with an aluminum-zinc or powered anode often solves it.
