Typically if you have a leak from your tank, you should get it replaced as soon as possible, as tank leaks cannot be repaired. If the leak is from a valve, then you should have that repaired by a plumber to prevent water waste. Regardless of the issue, when you notice a leak from your water heater, you should address it right away. To get your water heater repaired, contact us today.
