Leaky Hot Water Heater in Dayton, Ohio

Choice Comfort is Leaky Hot Water Heater Expert

Leaky hot water heaters, left unchecked, can result in a number of home hazards. A few of them include:

• Property damage: Water leaks have the potential to ruin your carpet, bend floors, and even trigger the growth of mold and mildew. This may be harmful to your health if left untreated. Water that has accumulated around your water heater should be completely cleaned. It is important to keep an eye on any gathering water and to keep the area as dry as possible.
• Rusty, corroded plumbing: If the pipes that go to and from your water heater get rusted, they may deteriorate to the point that water begins to seep through them, which is dangerous. Not only does this have an impact on your water heater, but drinkable water has the potential to be contaminated by bacteria and pollutants.
• Tank pressure: It's possible that a buildup of water pressure in your water heater can result in an explosion. The presence of a leaky water heater may indicate that water pressure has built up to the point that it no longer has somewhere to go. Additionally, if the water temperature is adjusted too high or if the relief valve is broken or malfunctioning, an emergency situation may arise.
