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

Shut off the water and power, then call us. A leak at the bottom often means a failing tank, and replacement is typically the fix. We carry 13 styles in stock for same‑day installation, and a live person answers 24/7. We serve Mentor and Painesville.

Quick steps:

  • Turn the cold‑water shutoff valve to OFF.
  • Electric: switch the breaker OFF. Gas: set the gas control to OFF.
  • Place a bucket/towels; avoid touching hot water.
