What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the bottom?

Turn off power and water, then call Boulden Brothers. A bottom leak usually signals a failed tank or a drain‑valve problem, so fast service helps prevent damage. We repair or replace tank, tankless, hybrid, and solar water heaters with free estimates and up-front no‑surprise pricing. We help homeowners in Newark, DE and nearby.

Quick steps:

• Electric: switch off the breaker. Gas: set to pilot/off.
• Close the cold-water shutoff to the heater.
• Place a bucket; open the drain to relieve pressure if safe.
• Do not relight or keep using.
