Why Is Your Water Heater Leaking?
- A Faulty or Loose Drain Valve
The drain valve is located at the bottom of the tank. If it becomes loose or damaged, water can slowly drip from the valve.
This usually happens when:
- The valve wasn’t fully closed after maintenance
- It became loose over time
- The internal washer has worn out
- The valve cracked from age or sediment build-up
A bad drain valve is one of the easiest leaks to fix — and Doctor Water Heater can repair it quickly on-site.
- Excessive Pressure Inside the Tank
Your water heater releases pressure through the Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (T&P valve).
If your water heater has too much pressure, water will leak out to protect the tank.
Pressure can spike due to:
- Water temperature set too high
- High incoming water pressure from the home’s supply
- A malfunctioning or clogged T&P valve
If pressure isn’t relieved, the tank can rupture — so this is a repair you should never delay.
- Old, Corroded, or Rusting Tank
If your water heater is 8–12 years old, leaks may indicate internal corrosion.
Once the tank itself begins leaking, you cannot repair it — the only solution is a full replacement.
Signs your tank is at the end of its life:
- Rust-colored hot water
- Moisture or dripping around the base
- Sediment buildup
- Loud popping or rumbling noises
If replacement is needed, Doctor Water Heater installs high-efficiency models — and we remove your old unit at no extra cost.
- Leaking Connections or Fittings
Loose connections, worn-out flex lines, cracked solder joints, or faulty shutoff valves can all cause leaks.
We inspect every connection point, including:
- Cold-water inlet
- Hot-water outlet
- Anode rod port
- T&P valve connection
- Expansion tank fittings
Most of the time, this issue is repairable on the same visit.
- Internal Condensation or Tank Sweating
In humid NJ summers, your tank may appear to be “leaking,” when it’s actually sweating due to condensation.
We check whether the moisture is condensation or an actual leak and fix the root cause.
Signs You Need a Leaking Water Heater Specialist Immediately
Contact Doctor Water Heater right away if you notice:
- Water pooling around the tank
- Dripping from the top or bottom of the unit
- Hissing or sizzling sounds
- Watermarks on walls or floors
- Hot water running out quickly

Even a small leak can become a flooded basement — fast.
What to Do If Your Water Heater Is Leaking
Until our technician arrives, here’s how to minimize damage:
- Turn off the cold-water supply
