Service
If a condition persists or you are uncertain about the
operation of the water heater contact a service agency.
Use this guide to check a “Leaking” water heater. Many
suspected “Leakers” are not leaking tanks. Often the
source of the water can be found and corrected.
If you are not thoroughly familiar with your water heater and
safety practices, contact a qualified installer to check the
water heater.
