Where Water Heaters Leak in Burlington
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
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
Rust and water at the seam or base mean the tank has corroded through. That one gets replaced.
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.
