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

A leak from the bottom of a water heater is an urgent issue. Western States Home Services offers same-day and 24/7 emergency plumbing to diagnose and fix it. A licensed plumber will inspect, troubleshoot, and recommend repair or replacement for gas, electric, tankless, hybrid, or tank models. Expect upfront options and testing before we leave. Typical repair costs range from $150 for minor fixes to $500+ for major repairs.

Quick steps:

• Turn off the cold-water shutoff to the heater.
• For electric, switch the breaker off; for gas, set control to Off/Pilot.
