Water Heater Leaking Port Arthur TX
A puddle near your water heater rarely means the worst case. We trace it to the actual source fast.
Common Sources of Water Heater Leaks
Loose fittings at the top of the tank develop small leaks easily tightened. A failing relief valve can develop a slow drip, and given both local water hardness and humidity, these corrode faster than in most cities. A failing drain valve, especially the original plastic valve on older units. In more serious cases, tank corrosion means replacement rather than repair.
What We Check Beyond the Obvious Puddle
A leak visible from one angle doesn't always show its actual origin. We check the full tank, all fittings, the relief valve, and drain valve, paying particular attention to exterior corrosion given the coastal environment.
