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 often signals tank failure or a failed valve, and fast diagnostics help prevent water damage. We provide emergency water heater service, upfront pricing, and 2-year parts and labor warranties on our services.
Quick steps:
- Close the cold-water shutoff to the heater.
- Turn off electric power at the breaker or set gas control to off.
- Place a bucket/towels to manage water until we arrive.
- Do not attempt major repairs yourself.
