Where Water Heaters Leak in Newberg
Water from the T&P 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
When the steel tank itself leaks, no repair holds. This is the leak that means a new heater.
Leak at the expansion tank
The small tank on the cold line, or its connection, starts to drip.
Rust-colored water
Rusty hot water or rust streaks on the tank can mean corrosion inside.
Tank seam or bottom leaking
Water from the steel tank itself, the one leak that means replacement.
