It is not uncommon for homeowners to hear their water heater making noises. Does that mean it's leaking? Water rushes, increasing water bills, and water damage usually indicate a leak in a water heater. Here is a guide to identifying water heater leaks so that you can save water and avoid damage.
Listen to see if your water heater is leaking
Do you suspect that there is a leak in the water heater? Turn off external sound sources, such as the television or radio, and listen to your ears. The leak can sometimes be heard before it becomes severe. If you hear water dripping or rushing near the water heater, you should follow the sound and find the leak. If you hear water but cannot determine where it is coming from, there may be a leak.
Watch out for leaks in your water heater
It can be difficult to determine the exact point at which water leaks. A number of leaks can go undetected. In some situations, an insulating blanket covers the unit, which makes it difficult to detect leaks. Learn why water leaks commonly occur in these areas.
Examine the top of the water heater
Taking a look at the top of the water heater would be helpful, as this is where the water leaves and enters. Since the water heater is under high pressure, there is a chance of the tube entering the tank leaking.
Examine the bottom of the water heater
Is your water heater leaking from bottom? The drain valve located at the bottom of the water heater is sometimes where leaks occur.
The Electric Water Heater
Perhaps your electric water heater has a leak? Are you not certain of the source? If yes, you need to shut down the power. Once the access panel and safety shield have been removed, you should inspect the elements for leaks and stains in the water heater. Your bolts and nuts might be tightened if your tank is partially new and leaks are evident. If that doesn't work for you, you may need to replace the element washers.
How should you react when you detect a leak in the water heater?
When you have detected a leak in the water heater, you must cut off the power to the heater. Gas can also be shut off. After that, you can shut off the water supply to your heater. Depending on where you live, you can find it by following the pipe going into the water heater and closing the valve there.
Other than that, you can also do minor repairs, such as tightening loose connections or adjusting the pressure relief valve. The temperature could also contribute to a leak in the pressure relief valve. See if you can reduce the temperature. If possible, you can switch to a more efficient water heater.
