What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the top?
If the top of your water heater is leaking, turn off power or gas and close the cold-water valve, then call for service. We provide water heater repair, installation, and annual maintenance, and we offer emergency plumbing in Columbus. A licensed plumber will inspect, pinpoint the source, and confirm repair vs. replacement.
- Electric: switch off the breaker.
- Gas: turn gas control to Off.
- Close the cold-water shutoff on top.
- Place a bucket and dry the area to spot fresh drips.
- Avoid opening the tank or removing parts.
