Where Water Heaters Leak in Pleasant Hill
Dripping relief 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
Rust and water at the seam or base mean the tank has corroded through. That one gets replaced.
Tank seam or bottom leaking
Water from the steel tank itself, the one leak that means replacement.
Wet connections on top
Hot and cold connectors and nipples corrode or loosen, and the water runs down the side of the tank.
Drain valve weeping
The valve at the bottom drips from the spout or around its threads.
