Where Water Heaters Leak in Commack
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.
Water in the pan
The pan is wet, but the cause may be condensation, an AC line or relief discharge.
Element or control valve seep
Gaskets behind an element panel, or the threads of a gas control valve, let water out.
Rust-colored water
Rusty hot water or rust streaks on the tank can mean corrosion inside.
