Where Water Heaters Leak in Arvada
Water from the T&P valve
A relief valve that drips or runs every day usually means a worn valve or too much pressure in the tank.
Leak at the drain spout
Plastic drain valves wear out. A new brass valve usually ends it.
Water from the tank body
When the steel tank itself leaks, no repair holds. This is the leak that means a new heater.
Drain valve weeping
The valve at the bottom drips from the spout or around its threads.
Water in the pan
The pan is wet, but the cause may be condensation, an AC line or relief discharge.
Leak at the expansion tank
The small tank on the cold line, or its connection, starts to drip.
