What Causes a Leaking Water Heater?
It’s easy to panic when you see water pooling around your water heater. However, some leaks are easy fixes if you know why they happen. Not all water leaks are dangerous, but it’s always best to be safe than sorry and call a professional plumber to investigate. Woodfin – Your Home Team offers same-day and emergency services in Short Pump, VA.
-
Corrosion
Water heaters, especially those with a steel tank, are prone to corrosion over time. Corrosion can lead to fissures or cracks where water can leak out, which is common in older water heaters.
-
Faulty T&P Valve
The temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P valve) is a safety device that releases water if the temperature or pressure inside the tank gets too high. If this valve is faulty or improperly installed, it can cause leaking.
-
Loose Drain Valve
The drain valve is used for maintenance and draining the water heater to flush out sediment. If this valve is loose or damaged, water can drip from the tank.
-
High Water Pressure
When the water pressure in your home is too high, it can cause stress on the water heater and the plumbing connections. This excess pressure can lead to leaks at various connection points or even from the tank itself.

Why You Should Call a Plumber for Drain Cleaning
It’s good to handle minor household repairs yourself, but here’s why you should hire a plumber to deal with a stubbornly blocked drain.
- Expertise and Experience: Plumbers have the training and experience to diagnose and solve clogs more quickly than an amateur, which saves time and money.
- Proper Tools: Professional plumbers use advanced tools like hydro-jetting equipment, augers, and drain cameras, which are more effective for drain cleaning than chemicals or home remedies.
- Safety: Chemical drain cleaners can be effective in the short term, but over-reliance on them can damage your pipes, leading to leaks and bursts.
Whether you need a water heater installation, drain cleaning, or any other plumbing repair, you can count on Woodfin - Your Home Team in Short Pump, VA. Book us today at (804) 552-6295.
