Flooding Water Heater – Repair and Installation

Flooding Water Heater is a big problem because this appliance is a necessity for life, and you need to know how to maintain them, and when it’s time for a new tank water heater installation.

Conventional or a tankless water heater, both can suffer structural failure resulting in property damage caused by flooding.

Undetected leaks can cause severe damage when you don’t have a routine inspection and maintenance. Pressurized leaks tend to spray beyond the drain pan beneath conventional water heaters.

In case you are experiencing flooding in any part of your house,  find out where the leak is coming from, the culprit could be your water heater or a pipe that is broke.  Don’t assume, you know where the liquid is coming from, unless you can see the leak in the system, call a professional plumber to find out.

Turn the water heater off If the leak is coming from it. The appliance has an emergency shut-off valve with instructions near them. If the system is old, it might lack these things, better make the call for the plumber in this is the case.

When the leak is holding you can either fix or replace the machine, due to potential flood damage.

If a leak has been slow and persistent, you probably have mold, consult a water remediation specialist about it or if you have other concerns.

Water heaters have a span life typically 10-12 years, depending on the model and the machine, after that, parts are expected to start failing. If the water heater is older than this thing about replacing it before it fails and you have to deal with a mess.

Water heater flooding is one of those things that nobody wants to deal with, but sometimes we have to, the best cure is prevention.
