What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?
Turn off the water and power, then call a pro. A leak from the bottom usually means a failing tank or a faulty drain valve. Shut the cold-water supply, cut electric at the breaker or set the gas valve to off, and avoid relighting or resetting. If safe, catch drips and note where the water starts. We handle water heater repairs, replacements, and maintenance with 24/7 emergency service in Bloomington and Normal.
