What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?

Turn off water and power, then call a plumber. A leak from the bottom often means the tank has failed or the drain valve is leaking, and it can worsen fast. We service leaking tank and tankless heaters in Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield, and Fishers with 24/7 emergency response.

Quick steps:

• Turn the cold-water shutoff to OFF.
• Turn off power: switch the breaker for electric; set gas control to OFF for gas.
• Place a bucket/towels and avoid nearby electrical outlets.
• Call for same-day service.
