What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?

Shut off power and water, then call a pro. A leak from the bottom often means a failing tank, a loose drain valve, or condensation. We service and replace both tank and tankless units, and we’ll confirm the cause on site in Melbourne or Satellite Beach.

Quick steps:

• Turn off electricity at the breaker (or set gas control to “off”).
• Close the cold-water shutoff to the heater.
• Avoid touching any standing water near electrical connections.
• Place a bucket/towels under the drain area.
