Where Water Heaters Leak in Warren
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
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.
Relief valve dripping
A T&P valve that drips or runs, either worn out or reacting to high pressure.
Drain valve weeping
The valve at the bottom drips from the spout or around its threads.
Element or control valve seep
Gaskets behind an element panel, or the threads of a gas control valve, let water out.
