How can I fix a leaking hot water heater?

Answer 1

To fix a leaking hot water heater, first turn off the power or gas supply to the heater. Next, shut off the water supply to the heater. Locate the source of the leak, which could be from the pressure relief valve, drain valve, or tank itself. Depending on the source of the leak, you may need to tighten connections, replace valves, or patch the tank. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with the repair, it is best to contact a professional plumber for assistance.
