Water heater leaking in Austin? Here's what to do
A leaking water heater can't wait - even a small leak can damage flooring and drywall fast, especially in older Austin homes
Signs of a leak:
- Puddle or standing water at the base of the tank
- Water dripping from a fitting, valve, or pipe connection
- Rust-colored water, or visible rust on the tank exterior
- Moisture around the pressure relief valve
- A hissing or dripping sound coming from the unit
Leaking now? Turn off the cold water supply valve on top of the tank, and if it's a gas unit, switch the gas control to "off." Then, call Reliant Plumbing — we run emergency water heater calls around the clock, including nights and weekends.
