Whats causing water to leak from my water heater?
The most serious cause of water leaks from water heaters is a rusted out tank which requires you to replace the entire water heater. If your water heater is not near the end of the manufacturers’ life estimate it could be a much simpler and less costly problem. The pressure relief valve, usually located at the top of the unit, could be leaking. The cause could be a defective or worn out valve or one that simply needs tightening. Your owner manual should have detailed information about repairing or replacing the valve.
