Is your Water Heater Leaking?

Have you ever stood in the shower to find no hot water coming out or suddenly there is water all over the garage floor?
Is there a leaking water heater or water coming out of the closet where your water heater is?
  • No hot water and slight moisture near the bottom of the water heater
  • Water running down the sides of the water heater
  • Water on the floor near the water heater
These are tell-tale signs that your water heater has probably cracked on the inside. When you notice water leaking from the bottom of your water heater, this usually means there is a crack in the tank and the entire water heater will need to be replaced.  
 
Sometimes a water heater can develop a leak from the top. This type of leak is usually caused by a fitting or a plumbing part that has malfunctioned. In this case, the water heater can often be repaired.
  • Leak from the shut off valve
  • Leak from a flex line
  • Leak from the T/P overflow line

Performing a visual inspection of the water heater is a good way to see where the leak is coming from. It is a good idea to have a flashlight and a step ladder handy. This way if you need to take a closer look at a certain part of the tank – you will already have the tools you need.

Observe closely! You may not see water at the bottom of your water heater or there might not be a noticeable leakage. If you see rust stains running down the tank or a large buildup of corrosion, it could be a sign of a leak from a different area. This is a good time to do an visual inspection and call for help.
