How it works
What to expect
Shutoff and safety check
We shut off the water supply to the unit and, for gas or electric models, the fuel or power source, then confirm the work area is safe before touching anything.
Leak source diagnosis
We inspect the tank, valves, fittings, and connections to find exactly where water is escaping, and we distinguish true leaks from harmless condensation.
Repair recommendation
We explain what failed and what the repair involves, and give an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for the condition of your unit.
Repair and part replacement
We replace the failed valve, fitting, connector, or component and reseal connections to proper standards so the fix holds.
Testing and restart
We restore water and power or gas, verify there are no leaks, confirm the TPR valve operates correctly, and check that hot water is flowing properly.
FAQ
Electric Water Heater Leak Repair questions
Where do electric water heaters commonly leak?
Beyond the usual valves and fittings, electric units often leak at the heating element gaskets on the side of the tank. A failed gasket lets water seep out around the element and run down the tank jacket.
Is it safe to work on a leaking electric water heater?
Only with the power switched off at the breaker and verified dead. Water and 240-volt circuits are a dangerous combination, which is why electric water heater leaks should be handled by a professional.
Can a leaking heating element be replaced without replacing the tank?
Yes. Heating elements and their gaskets are replaceable service parts. If the tank itself is sound, replacing a leaking element is a routine repair.
