Where Water Heaters Leak in Brentwood
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
The drain valve at the bottom is one of the most common leaks, and one of the easiest to fix.
Rust at the bottom seam
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.
