If you have a hot water tank leak in your home, or your Water Heater is leaking,
locate the Water heater. It is usually in the utility room of a home with
basement, or near the laundry room of a home without a basement. There
will be 2 water pipes coming out of the heater on top. On one or both
of those pipes will be a shut-off valve. If it is an older style gate
valve (see picture), turn the round handle clockwise to the right until
it stops. If it is a newer style Ball lever valve, rotate the handle until
it is crosswise on the pipe (most will stop in that position).
When turning off your water supply, remember to turn off the gas valve as well. Most tanks have a safety that will turn off the flame if water pressure drops, but some older tanks do not have this technology. If you can't locate or can't turn the gas valve off, you can temporarily turn off the gas by dialing down the temperature. For your safety, call us immediately if any gas related issues arise.
