Water Heater Leaking Tyler 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. A failing drain valve, especially the original plastic valve on older units. In more serious cases, tank corrosion means replacement rather than repair. Condensation can also get mistaken for a leak.
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 rather than assuming the closest wet spot is the source.
If Your Water Heater Is in an Attic
Leaks from units in an attic carry higher stakes, since water travels downward before it's noticed. We flag the importance of a properly functioning drain pan during any leak visit for units in this location.
From First Call to Leak Resolved
A technician traces the leak to its actual source rather than assuming the worst. If it's a valve or fitting, that's a repair. If the tank has failed, we'll explain why honestly.
