Where Water Heaters Leak in New Bedford
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.
Popping and rumbling
Sediment on the bottom of the tank, which also wears it out faster.
Tank seam or bottom leaking
Water from the steel tank itself, the one leak that means replacement.
Relief valve dripping
A T&P valve that drips or runs, either worn out or reacting to high pressure.
