Where Water Heaters Leak in Attleboro
Water from the T&P valve
The valve opens at 150 psi or 210 °F. A steady drip means a worn valve or a pressure problem.
Weeping drain valve
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.
Element or control valve seep
Gaskets behind an element panel, or the threads of a gas control valve, let water out.
Leak at the expansion tank
The small tank on the cold line, or its connection, starts to drip.
Popping and rumbling
Sediment on the bottom of the tank, which also wears it out faster.
