Leaking from the Top of the Water Heater – Usually Repairable
Water coming from the pipes or T&P valve on top? Guaranteed Plumbing can diagnose hot water tank leaks in Apple Valley California and usually repair leaks on the supply line, located at the top, or reseal when possible. T&P lines may need to be replaced if thats determined to be the cause, but sometimes the water damage is so extensive that water heater replacement is necessary. Sometimes the copper water supply line above the water heater is leaking onto the unit, and water heater repair can be avoided.
Leaking from the Bottom of the Water Heater – Usually Not Repairable
If it’s only the drain valve; it may be repairable. Once the tank itself is rusted through, there is no safe repair – that’s when repair or installation of a new hot water tank with Robert is needed. If you see water in the pan, located below the water heater, it may be leaking from the top and dripping water down the tank. The water heater drip pan is ment to direct leaking water away from the wall so you can notice a leak before water damage gets worse.
Unfortunately, water that leaks into the combustion chamber of the unit is usually not repairable. Damage to components can cause hot water to go cold and if the winter months are are in full swing, the urgency to find a local plumber for leaking water heater repair in Apple Valley is even more important.
