Problems That Warrant an Urgent Call
Active tank leak or flooding
Water spreading across the floor around the unit needs immediate attention to limit damage.
Complete loss of hot water
A unit that suddenly produces nothing but cold water may have a major component failure.
Loud banging or violent rumbling
Severe overheating or pressure issues can make a tank dangerously unstable — don't ignore it.
Smell of gas near the unit
Leave the area immediately and call 911 or your gas utility first. Then arrange professional help.
Scorch marks or burning smells
Signs of electrical or burner trouble that a qualified professional should inspect promptly.
Pressure relief valve discharging
Constant or heavy discharge from the T&P valve signals a pressure or temperature problem.
Stay Safe While You Wait
A few safe steps you can take before a provider arrives — only if you can do so without risk:
- Gas smell? Get everyone out of the house, don't flip switches or light anything, and call 911 or your gas utility from a safe distance. This comes before any service call.
- Shut off the water to the heater using the cold-water inlet valve above the unit, if you can reach it safely.
- Cut the energy source: switch the breaker off for an electric unit, or turn the gas control knob to "pilot" or "off" for a gas unit — only if it's safe to access.
- Protect belongings by moving valuables, boxes, and electronics away from standing water.
- Don't open panels or touch gas fittings. Leave internal components, wiring, and gas connections to the professional.
