What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?
If the bottom of your water heater is leaking, shut off water and power, then call a licensed plumber. Bottom leaks often indicate tank failure and usually mean replacement. Elmer’s Home Services provides 24/7 water-heater repair and replacement for gas, electric, and tankless systems in San Antonio and nearby areas.
- Turn off the cold-water supply valve.
- Cut power: switch off the breaker (electric) or set gas control to Off.
