Where Water Heaters Leak in Centereach
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.
Leak at the expansion tank
The small tank on the cold line, or its connection, starts to drip.
Rust-colored water
Rusty hot water or rust streaks on the tank can mean corrosion inside.
Tank seam or bottom leaking
Water from the steel tank itself, the one leak that means replacement.
