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

If your water heater is leaking from the top, shut off the water and power, then schedule service. Berkeys handles inspection, repair, and replacement for gas and electric tanks and tankless units, installed to code by licensed Texas plumbers.

Quick checks:

• Turn the cold-water shutoff valve on top to OFF.
• Electric: switch the breaker OFF. Gas: set the gas control to Pilot or OFF.
• Place a pan/towels to contain water and avoid ceiling/attic damage.
• Do not open panels; wait for a technician.
