What Causes a Leaking Water Heater?
Have you noticed water pooling around the base of your hot water heater? Or did you come home to a flooded basement because the water heater broke? A leaking water heater is a common problem, and here are the most common reasons they happen. Not every leak is a disaster waiting to happen, but it’s always safer to call a plumber than to take the chance. Trust Woodfin - Your Home Team for on-time services in Glen Allen, VA, so you don’t run out of instant hot water in your home!
Age and Corrosion
Water heaters can corrode over time, especially if they're not maintained properly.
High Pressure
If the pressure inside the tank is too high, it can cause the tank to leak or, in extreme cases, rupture.
Faulty Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve (T&P Valve)
The T&P valve releases water if the temperature or pressure gets too high inside the tank. If this valve is faulty or blocked, it may cause leaks.
Loose Drain Valve
Over time, the drain valve at the bottom of the tank can become loose, leading to a slow leak.
Inlet and Outlet Connections
If the connections where water enters and exits the heater are loose, they can cause leaks.
