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

Turn off the water and power, then call a plumber. A leak at the bottom often points to a failing tank, an overflowing drain pan, or a loose drain valve. AirCo repairs and replaces gas, electric, and tankless units, offers same-day service and 24/7 emergency help, and can perform a $69 professional inspection with a detailed report. We also install drain pans, supply lines, and expansion tanks when needed. We serve Dallas, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, and nearby.

Quick steps:

• Close the cold-water shutoff valve.
• Cut power at the breaker, or set gas control to off.
• Avoid relighting or resetting if water contacted electrical parts.
