What to do when you find water under your gas fired water heater. Showing where to look to determine where the water is coming from and if the leak is repairable or the water heater requires a replacement.

Water Heater Playlist

Repairable Leaks:
• Fittings
• Tank nipples
• T&P relief valve
• Control valve
• Drain valve

Unrepairable Leaks
• Top/Bottom seam
• Spraying in flue
• Spraying in combustion chamber

Please note that a water heater that is overworked or runs completely cold can condensate, giving the appearance of a leaking tank. This may also occur when a new water heater is installed and fired up for the first time. Dry up the area and wait 24hrs to determine if it was condensate or the tank actually leaking.
