What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?

Shut off the water and power, then call us. A leak from the bottom can mean tank damage, excess sediment, or a valve/connection issue that needs a licensed tech. We offer 24/7 emergency water heater service with upfront pricing.

Quick checks:

• Turn off the cold-water supply valve.
• Electric: switch off the breaker. Gas: set the pilot light control to off.
• Place a pan/towels to contain water and note where it’s seeping.
• Do not move the heater.
