Our heater in the basement has been flooded due to the storm. Sat in the water for a few days and now it doesn't heat the water. When I turn the thermostat on, something clicks and then nothing.

It runs on oil.

Have you cleaned the burner out from the flood?You have to look at the motor the primary control.Is the air tube clean ,no water in side the fire chamber. did water get into the tank? You have a lot of IF's here to look at. I think best you call a tech to look at it;) ED

It has been resolved, all that was necessary was hitting the reset button.
