    Common Causes

    Why Water Heaters Leak

    Tank failure

    Older tanks corrode from the inside and develop leaks or sudden rupture, releasing dozens of gallons.

    Age

    Most water heaters last 8–12 years. Past that, failure risk rises sharply — a common cause in older Fort Lauderdale homes.

    Corrosion

    Internal corrosion weakens the tank wall and fittings until a slow leak or burst occurs.

    Sediment buildup

    Sediment settles at the tank bottom, causing overheating, rumbling, and accelerated wear on the tank floor.

    Immediate Steps

    01

    Shut off the water

    Turn off the cold-water supply to the heater to stop the flow.

    02

    Shut off the power

    Cut power — gas or electric — to the unit for safety.

    03

    Call for help

    Call us 24/7. We'll connect you with a local provider to extract the water, dry the area, and document the loss.

    The Response

    A local provider arrives fast, extracts the released water, and dries the affected area — often a garage, utility closet, or condo mechanical space where water can migrate into adjacent units. The loss is documented for your insurance and the structure is confirmed dry with moisture meters before the job is done.
