Leaking or Burst Water Heaters

Your hot water supply is important to you, but the heater, which operates under pressure, can burst if it becomes old and corroded. Leaks can also occur. Even if you check the drip tray from time to time, you could still end up with a lot of water being released in the area where it was installed if the tank were to breach. In milder climates, an outdoor water heater installation can be practical and reduces the risk of water damage to structures. If you have an indoor installation and want to limit the risk of structural damage caused by a burst water heater, have it replaced every ten years or so.
