Common Warning Signs
Homeowners in Avondale and the West Valley often notice these symptoms before a full failure:
- No hot water, or it runs out much faster than it used to
- Popping, rumbling, or knocking sounds from the tank
- Rusty or discolored hot water
- Water pooling under or around the tank
- A rotten-egg smell near a gas water heater
When Is It Urgent?
A leaking tank can fail completely at any time and flood the area around it. If you see water pooling from the tank itself, turn off the power/gas and water supply and call for service. A gas smell is a safety issue — leave the area and call.
What to Do While Waiting for Service:
- Shut off the cold-water inlet valve above the unit
- Turn off the power: the breaker for electric units, or the gas shutoff for gas units
- Contain any dripping with towels or a pan
What to Avoid:
- • Don't ignore a leaking tank hoping it will stop — it usually won't
- • Don't attempt to relight a gas pilot if you smell gas
- • Don't drain a hot tank without letting it cool first
