There is water leaking from my water heater. What's the cause?

There are a few different possible sources for hot water heaters or boilers to leak. The water tank may be rusted out, which would mean you need a water heater replacement. This can be the most likely cause especially if the water heater is more than ten years old. Another possible culprit can be that the pressure relief valve could be leaking. Try operating the valve and see if it will stop. In addition It might just need to be tightened. Also the gasket around the heating element may need to be replaced. If the leak does not stop you will need a plumber to take care of your water heater repair, and can take the opportunity to upgrade to a tankless water heater.
