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

If your water heater is leaking from the bottom, turn off the water supply and power, then call Ken’s Plumbing. We’re available 24/7 for leak repair, diagnosis, or replacement in Greenville and nearby. Our techs can flush sediment, check for corrosion, and replace failed parts like the anode rod. If the tank has ruptured, we install conventional or tankless units, including Navien models. Professional service helps prevent hazards with gas, venting, and electrical connections.

• Close the cold-water valve on top of the heater.
• For electric, switch off the breaker. For gas, turn gas control to Off.
• Contain water with a pan or towels.
