Leaking Hot Water System FAQs
Answer:
The most common cause is the inner tank rusting through after years of use, and that cannot be repaired. A leak can also come from a drain valve, a fitting or the relief valve drain pipe running down the side. We check which one it is before quoting.
Answer:
A little water while the tank is heating can be normal. If the valve drips all the time or runs steadily, the valve is worn or the water pressure is too high. We test both and replace the valve or fit a pressure limiting valve if it is needed.
Answer:
It depends on where the leak is. A valve or fitting is a smaller repair, while a tank that has rusted through means a new system. Either way you get one fixed price before any work starts, and there is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours.
Answer:
Turn off the power at the hot water switch in the meter box, or turn the gas off at the unit. Close the cold water isolation valve going into the tank if you can reach it safely. Then call us, and keep towels down to protect the floor.
Answer:
Leaking valves, hoses and fittings can usually be repaired. A leak from the tank itself cannot, because the cylinder has corroded through. We tell you which it is on the spot.
Answer:
The water itself can cause damage to floors, cupboards and ceilings below, and an electric unit sitting in water should be switched off. A relief valve that stops working entirely is a bigger concern than one that drips, so have it checked either way.
Answer:
Yes. We service all the major hot water brands, including Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Thermann, Bosch, Vulcan and Aquamax. Tell us the brand when you book if you know it.
