Assuming the tank is leaking can lead to replacing a unit that had a loose connection. We inspect to find where the water is actually coming from.
Possible Sources
- A leaking water connection or fitting
- A dripping valve (temperature-pressure or drain valve)
- Condensation on cold pipes or the tank
- A leak from the tank itself
- Water from a nearby source running under the unit
Why the Source Matters
| Source | Typical Approach |
|---|---|
| Connection or fitting | Tighten or replace the fitting |
| Valve | Repair or replace the valve |
| Condensation | Address humidity or insulation, not a leak |
| Tank | Often means replacement |
Condensation vs. a Real Leak
Condensation can form when cold water fills a tank or runs through cold pipes, especially in humid spaces. It can drip and pool without any actual leak. Telling condensation apart from a real leak matters — because the response is completely different.
Inspection, Not Remote Diagnosis
We don't diagnose a leak from a description alone. The source has to be found on site by inspecting the unit, connections, and the surrounding area. That inspection tells us whether it's a quick fitting fix, a valve, condensation, or a tank that needs replacing.

We inspect to find the actual source — connection, valve, condensation, or tank — so you fix the right thing.
