Where Water Heaters Leak in Carteret
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.
Relief valve dripping
A T&P valve that drips or runs, either worn out or reacting to high pressure.
Drain valve weeping
The valve at the bottom drips from the spout or around its threads.
Element or control valve seep
Gaskets behind an element panel, or the threads of a gas control valve, let water out.

How long will a water heater last once it starts leaking?
If it is a valve or fitting, it gets fixed and the heater carries on. A tank leak never improves; some drip for months and some fail suddenly, so it shouldn't be left.

Yes. Turn the gas control to OFF or flip the heater's breaker, then close the cold supply valve on top, or the house main if that valve is stuck.
