What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?
If your water heater leaks from the bottom, shut off water and power, then call a licensed plumber. Safe Electric & Plumbing provides emergency repairs and replacements.
Quick steps:
- Turn the cold-water shutoff valve Off.
- For electric, switch off the breaker; for gas, set control to Off/Pilot.
- Catch water in a pan and keep outlets and cords away.
- If unsure, don’t relight or drain; wait for a technician.
