What Should Be Checked When a Water Heater Leaks?
Some leaks are associated with serviceable connections or valves. A leak through the storage-tank body is a different condition and generally makes replacement more likely. The source should be identified before repair or replacement is recommended.
When Is Repair Practical?
Repair can make sense when the vessel remains sound and diagnosis identifies a serviceable thermostat, heating element, ignition component, sensor, valve, control, or connection. Replacement becomes more likely when the tank leaks, corrosion is extensive, failures recur, parts are unavailable, or hot-water demand is no longer being met.
Replacement Planning
New equipment should be selected around hot-water demand, available gas or electrical service, installation space, water connections, venting where applicable, drainage or condensate, and service access.
