Water Heater Leak Damage in Kent, WA

A leaking or failed water heater can release water into utility rooms, garages, closets and nearby living spaces.

Start With Safety and Source Control

If it can be done safely, stop the water supply and avoid electrical or gas-related hazards around the appliance. Mechanical repair or replacement may require the appropriate licensed trade professional.

Check the Surrounding Materials

Water can spread under flooring, into walls or into adjacent rooms. Standing water may require water extraction, followed by drying where materials retained moisture.
