Water Heater Leak? We Fix the Water Damage.

Most water heaters hold 40 to 50 gallons of water. When they fail, they often dump that entire volume onto your floor in minutes. If your utility room is in a finished basement or near living areas, this can cause significant damage quickly.

Signs of an Impending Leak

• Rust-Colored Water: Indicates corrosion inside the tank.
• Rumbling Noise: Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank can cause it to overheat and crack.
• Moisture Around the Base: Small puddles are often the first warning sign before a catastrophic failure.

What To Do Immediately

1. Shut Off the Water: Turn the valve on the cold water pipe leading into the top of the tank (usually a clockwise turn).
2. Turn Off Power/Gas: For electric heaters, flip the circuit breaker. For gas, turn the dial to "Pilot" or "Off."
3. Call Flood Cleanup Pros: A plumber fixes the tank; we fix the wet walls, soaked carpet, and ruined flooring.

The Cleanup Process

Water from a heater is often clean, but if it flows over dirty floors or sits for too long, it becomes contaminated. We use high-grade extractors to remove the water and thermal imaging cameras to see where the moisture has traveled behind walls.
