What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the top?
If your water heater is leaking from the top, shut off water and power, then schedule service. Top leaks often come from the cold-water inlet, the T&P valve, or loose connectors. We provide 24/7 emergency help in Provo with set pricing.
- Close the cold-water shutoff above the tank.
- For electric, turn the breaker off. For gas, set the gas control to off.
- Place a bucket or towels to catch water.
- Do not remove panels; wait for a technician.
