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

Shut off the water and power, then schedule service. A leak from the bottom is “Leaking Hot Water,” one of our listed repair signs. If your heater is older than 10 years or has frequent breakdowns, replacement may be the smarter choice. We service homes in Novato, San Rafael, Petaluma, and nearby.

Quick steps:

• Turn off the cold-water supply valve.
• For gas units, turn the gas control to off.
• For electric units, switch off the breaker.
• Avoid using hot water until a technician inspects it.
