What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?
If your water heater is leaking from the bottom, shut off the water supply and power, then schedule service. Alpine Plumbing offers same-day water heater repair and replacement, including tank and tankless units, and can inspect for the cause of the leak.
Quick steps:
- Turn the cold-water shutoff valve to off.
- For electric units, switch the breaker off. For gas, set the gas control to off.
- Clear the area and place a pan or towels to catch water.
- Book an inspection so a technician can confirm repair vs. replacement.
