Where Water Heaters Leak in Methuen
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.
Wet connections on top
Hot and cold connectors and nipples corrode or loosen, and the water runs down the side of the tank.
Relief valve dripping
A T&P valve that drips or runs, either worn out or reacting to high pressure.
Water in the pan
The pan is wet, but the cause may be condensation, an AC line or relief discharge.
