What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the top?
If your water heater is leaking from the top, shut off power or gas and close the cold-water supply, then contact WireNut Home Services for same-day repair or replacement options. Top leaks often come from loose inlet/outlet fittings, the T&P valve, or the anode rod port. Our licensed technicians provide upfront pricing and can service both tank and tankless units. Ask about $400 Off New Water Heater Installation with code CPN400 (cannot combine).
Quick checks:
- Turn off breaker or gas.
- Close cold-water valve.
- Wipe and look for wet connections on top.
- Do not open the tank.
