About this service
The next few minutes matter more than the next few hours
An active leak is a race between the water and you. The good news: you can win most of that race with two valves. Cold-water inlet off, heat source off (gas control to pilot or off, or the dedicated breaker for electric), and the flow stops — even if the tank still holds 40 or 50 gallons, it is no longer feeding the leak. That is the whole game in the first five minutes. Everything after that is cleanup and repair.
When we arrive, the priority order is: stop any remaining water, make the area safe (no power to a wet electric heater, no gas concerns on a gas unit), find the actual source, and then either complete the repair or stabilize the situation with a clear plan. A burst fitting gets fixed. A ruptured tank gets the water stopped and an honest conversation about replacement — not a patch that fails next month. If water is flowing right now, shut the inlet valve and call (833) 713-2101.
How it works
What to expect
Stop the inflow
Cold-water inlet valve clockwise until it stops. If the heater’s valve is stuck, use the main house shutoff.
Kill the heat source
Gas: control knob to pilot or off. Electric: dedicated breaker off. A heater should never fire while leaking.
Protect what matters
Move valuables, electronics, and anything absorbent out of the water’s path. Towels buy time on hard floors.
Note what you see
Where is the water coming from — top, side pipe, drain valve, base? That 30-second look speeds up everything.
Call (833) 713-2101
Tell us the location of the leak and whether it is gas or electric. We will talk you through anything you have not done yet.
FAQ
Emergency Water Heater Leak Repair questions
What counts as a leak that cannot wait?
Steady flowing water, water spreading across floors, any leak near electrical components, water from the TPR discharge pipe that will not stop, or any smell of gas. A slow, contained drip can usually be scheduled.
What should I do while waiting for the technician?
Water off, heat source off, valuables moved, and towels down. Do not try to disassemble anything, and do not touch electrical components standing in water.
I smell gas near my water heater — what now?
Leave the area and call your gas utility right away. Do not flip switches, do not relight anything, and do not go back in to investigate.
