When a basement heater leaks

About 62% of Holbrook homes were built before 1960, and only about 5% since 2000, the fewest of any town we cover here. In older houses the water heater is usually in the basement, where a slow leak can go unnoticed for weeks.

A drain pan and an inexpensive leak alarm can catch a leak early. If you find water, shut off the cold valve on top of the tank and turn off the gas or power to the heater before you call.

Fuel

Oil and gas in equal measure

About 41% of Holbrook homes heat with oil and 41% with gas. The state's gas provider map lists Eversource for Holbrook. Oil homes often make hot water through the boiler, while gas homes usually have a standalone tank.

Water

Tri-Town water

Holbrook shares the new Tri-Town Water Treatment Plant with Braintree and Randolph. The Randolph/Holbrook Joint Water Board says the plant was designed to remove PFAS and began blending into the system in July 2026.
