Where Water Heaters Leak in Billerica
Dripping relief 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
Rust and water at the seam or base mean the tank has corroded through. That one gets replaced.
Wet connections on top
Hot and cold connectors and nipples corrode or loosen, and the water runs down the side of the tank.
Relief valve dripping
A T&P valve that drips or runs, either worn out or reacting to high pressure.
Water in the pan
The pan is wet, but the cause may be condensation, an AC line or relief discharge.
