What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the top?
Turn off power and the cold-water supply, then call for service. A top leak often comes from the cold/hot inlet fittings, the T&P valve, or the anode port. Serving Phoenix and Glendale.
Quick steps:
- Electric: switch off the water heater breaker.
- Gas: set the gas control to OFF.
- Close the cold-water shutoff above the tank.
- Dry the top to pinpoint the source and avoid use until inspected.
