What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the top?

Shut off power or gas and the cold-water supply, then call a professional right away. A top leak often points to loose connections, a failing pressure valve, or corrosion. Our plumbers are available 24/7 for emergencies. In Crawfordsville, we inspect connections, pressure valve, ventilation, wiring, and tank condition, then advise on repair or replacement with upfront pricing.

Quick steps:

• Turn off the breaker (electric) or set gas valve to Off.
• Close the cold-water shutoff valve.
• Do not open panels or tighten gas fittings.
• Place a bucket and take photos.
