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

If water is leaking from the bottom, the tank may be failing. Shut off the water and power, then call us for same-day help. We repair leaks and replace tanks or tankless systems when needed. We handle clean removal, code-compliant installs, and testing, and financing is available. Ask about our No Lemon and 100% Satisfaction Guarantees on new installations.

Quick steps:

• Turn off the cold-water valve on top of the heater.
• For gas, set the control to Off; for electric, switch the breaker Off.
• Place a pan/towels; do not relight.
