# Water Heater Leaking at the Bottom in Columbia, SC

Finding water around the base of the water heater is a worry in any Columbia home. Sometimes it is a loose valve or condensation, but a leaking tank usually needs replacement.

- Turn off power or gas to the heater and shut the cold supply valve.
- Check the drain valve and relief valve pipe for drips.
- Dry the area and watch where new water appears to find the source.
- Call a local plumber if water is coming from the tank itself.
