Is your Water Heater Leaking? Here's What To Do!

Great video. Kind of long. Remember, everyone watching this is here because there’s water spraying all over our garage

When my water heater was brand new I put in a ball valve with a hose connection after removing that cheap one it came with. Makes it simple to use.

the pressure relief valve prevents the tank from becoming a bomb when pressure builds up, its not just bad for the tank, its dangerous without one

So if a fitting is leaking, wouldn't that also drop the pressure on the gauge?

love the energy and personality!!!!! makes a big difference when i'm trying to learn how to do things. :-)

I really liked the last tip to see if gauge drops with the valve closed which would mean the hot water would be leaking out from the water heater....👍 I live in Miami and there is no reason to have very hot hot water, so for many years I keep my electric water heater set to warm....thats is fine for a shower doen here....my water heater has lasted since 2003 and no issues yet, was the warm setting I put can that explain why its lasted so long I also live alone....just wondering...the reason I am watching these videos now as I am sure soon I might have to replace it....

Thank you. My brand new tank was leaking from the bottom joint of the actual tank. But there is no pressure relief valve tube. Its capped off. So i suspect thats why its leaking out the crack joint at the bottom. I hope thats it

Dl i have to turn off all the power or just the switch going to the water heater?

Can you tell me why hot water is coming out the heater from one of the plastic hole that doesn't have anything connected on the top ??

Great explanation, thank you!

Mine has pvc pipes. The hot water pipe burst. 19 degrees here. I called the plumber. No help. One week no hot water. I need help. Can I change the pipe ? Can I use flex tape ?

3:49 What if the hose bib that is coming out of the water heater has a slow drip?

Can water heater discharge pipe go upwards?

how about if the water is leaking out of that bottom spicket when the line is open, or if you turn hot or cold valve on??

What are you supposed to do if it stopped leaking on its own?

Thx for helping people like me, I have a question I just drained my gas water heater and I also opened prv valve then filled with no signs of leak but an hour later I saw a leak outside on the overflow then checked prv but saw no water, my question is what did I do wrong?

I know I have a water leak on my water heater at the hot water line what do I need to do to turn it off and stop the heating element from burning up

Recently had my washer repaired and just noticed that now my water heater is leaking from the bottom. Suggestions?

So I see a line where water is leaking out from a panel I open up it has insulation in it and wires directly under is a valve but when I open the panel all the white insulation is wet I'm assuming that is not good

What to do if you have water built up in the little pan on the top of water heater and water in pan under water heater and water heater isn’t heating? Help!
