What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?
If your water heater is leaking from the bottom, shut off the cold-water supply and turn off power (electric breaker or gas control). Then schedule service so a technician can inspect, provide a written estimate, and advise on repair or replacement. We offer 24/7 emergency response to restore hot water. Our plumbers handle valve issues, sediment-related leaks, and full tank failures for homes in Fort Wayne and New Haven.
Quick steps:
- Turn off water at the shutoff valve.
- Turn off power or set gas control to “off.”
- Place a bucket/towels to contain water.
- Call for diagnosis and options.
