Reading Time: 3 minutes

A leaking water heater can be a source of frustration and inconvenience for homeowners. Not only does it waste water and increase utility bills, but it can cause damage to your home. A leaking water heater requires prompt professional assistance. Don’t wait for your leaking water heater to cause damage to your home. Art Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electric offers several leaking water heater services.

A Thorough Leak Diagnosis

There are several causes of water heater leaks. Our plumber’s first task is to turn off the water if this has not been done already. Leaking water causes damage to your home and can affect walls, floors, and appliances. An Art technician will locate the water heater shut-off valve and turn it off. Once this is done, it’s time to locate the leak. Your plumber will conduct a thorough inspection of your plumbing system. There are several causes of leaks that your plumber will be on the lookout for. These include:

• Faulty pressure relief valve
• A leaking drain valve
• Corrosion and rust
• Loose connections

Once the leak has been located, our technician will advise on the best course of action. They will then get to work to repair your leaking water heater.

Water Heater Repair & Replacement Services

In some cases the water heater can be repaired such as:

• Tightening a loose connection
• Replacing the temperature or pressure relief valve
• Repairing or replacing the drain valve

However, in other cases, the tank itself may be leaking or corroded and a replacement might be the best option. Your technician will talk you through this process and recommend the best replacement. You may also want to consider a tankless water heater solution as these come with some great benefits.

Water Heater Maintenance

Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your water heater and prevent leaks. At Art, we offer maintenance packages. These include tank flushing, inspecting and tightening connections, and corrosion checks. Our annual “Flush & Fill” maintenance cleans out your water heater tank and restores its efficiency. Over time, sediment build-up can occur in your tank, reducing the availability of hot water. Flushing your tank will restore your hot water capacity.

Investing in preventative measures can reduce the likelihood of future leaks. One of our trusted plumbing technicians will advise you on the best maintenance solution for your water heater.

Emergency Services

Water heater leaks can sometimes occur unexpectedly and require immediate attention. A good deal of leaking water heater services offer emergency services to address urgent issues. We have an Art Emergency Hotline which guarantees prompt and efficient service. You can call our emergency hotline at 1-800-475-1504. Access to a reliable service is the difference between a home disaster and a happy home.
