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 can worsen fast, and our licensed plumbers provide 24/7 emergency water heater service with flat-rate, up-front pricing. We’ll perform a $179 diagnostic (waived with repair) and give clear options on the spot from our fully stocked trucks in Nassau County.

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. Do not cap the relief valve discharge.
