What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?
Shut the water and power off, then call for service. A bottom leak often points to a failing tank, a loose drain valve, or discharge from the relief line, and it can worsen fast.
Quick steps:
- Turn the cold-water shutoff above the heater to Off.
- Electric: switch the breaker Off. Gas: set the gas control to Off or Pilot.
- Keep clear of hot water; avoid scalding.
We repair, replace, and install all water heater types, with same-day and 24/7 help in Denver and nearby.
