What should I do if my water heater is leaking from the top?
If water is leaking from the top, close the cold-water valve and shut off power to the water heater. Leaks from the top can come from loose fittings or a leaking pressure relief valve. Dry the area, then check the hot and cold connections and the TPR valve. If the tank is 8–10 years old, replacement may be safer than repair. Guaranteed Service offers same-day diagnostics, code-compliant repairs, and installs for gas, electric, and tankless units across New Jersey and Staten Island.
