Where Water Heaters Leak in Dracut
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
Plastic drain valves wear out. A new brass valve usually ends it.
Water from the tank body
When the steel tank itself leaks, no repair holds. This is the leak that means a new heater.
Drain valve weeping
The valve at the bottom drips from the spout or around its threads.
Water in the pan
The pan is wet, but the cause may be condensation, an AC line or relief discharge.
Leak at the expansion tank
The small tank on the cold line, or its connection, starts to drip.
