Is there any other device in your house that is more important than your water heater, this winter? No, right? Hot water heating Edmonton is something that you need on a daily basis in this season. Imagine your hot water tank or water heater leaking and slowly becoming non-functional. Isn't it almost like a nightmare? 
​

Your water heater can start leaking due to several reasons such as poor heater installation, loose connections, advancing age, faulty components, or too much pressure in the heater. You need not worry as we have a few tips for fixing water heater leakages so that you can enjoy hot water heating without any problem.
Lower Water Pressure
Lower Water Pressure

If the water pressure in the pipes that directly supply water to your water heater is high, you will see leaks from where the pipe and heater are connected, due to the cracks in the pipes, or directly from the water heater. The first step to stop water heater leaks is to lower the water pressure in your pipes. Slightly turn off the main shut-off valve or install a pressure regulating device in your home to maintain the right water pressure.

Tighten the Drain Valve

Sometimes, the problem isn't as big and serious as it may look. A loose drain valve can also result in leakages from the valve-heater connection. Take a look at your water heater and find the source of the leak. If you notice that the leaks are from the drain valve-heater connection, tighten the drain valve with the help of a suitable wrench. If the drips continue even after turning the valve in the clockwise direction, consider replacing the drain valve.

Replace the TPR Valve

Water dripping from the temperature-pressure relief valve at a low pace is considered to be quite normal as the valve is designed to release water in high-pressure conditions. Generally, the high-pressure conditions are created in your heater either due to water supplied at a high pressure or the thermostat temperature being set too high. If you have already managed these factors and still notice leakages from the TPR valve, the chances are that the valve may be faulty. Replace the temperature-pressure relief valve immediately to stop the leakages and also prevent your heater from bursting due to increase in the pressure.

Replace the Water Heater

Another reason for water leakage from your heater can be the water heater itself. An old water heater can become inefficient or get corroded and have cracks and holes in them. Leakages can easily arise from these holes and cracks. Take a 360° look at your water heater and if you find any such signs of water heater failure and wear-off, replace your water heater altogether.
If you aren't confident enough to carry out these hacks yourself, consider calling our water heater experts. They can fix all the water heater related problems and let you enjoy your hot water heating Edmonton.
