Where Water Heaters Leak in Chelsea
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.
