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

If your water heater is leaking from the top, turn off power (or gas) and close the cold‑water supply, then schedule service. We repair and replace tank and tankless heaters with 24/7 emergency and same‑day service in Tampa. Top leaks often involve corroded piping, loose fittings, or a damaged dip tube. A technician will locate the safest repair, perform leak and cycle tests, and review maintenance steps. Financing is available for larger projects.

Quick steps:

• Electric: switch off the breaker.
• Gas: set gas control to off.
• Close the cold‑water shutoff valve.
