Is a leaking water heater an emergency that needs immediate repair?

Yes. A leaking water heater is an emergency because leaks can escalate, cause water damage, and may indicate tank failure. Shut off the cold-water supply and power or gas, then call. We handle water heater repair, replacement, and on‑call emergencies, and leaks are a listed sign that replacement may be needed. We serve Huntington, Fort Wayne, and nearby.

Quick steps:

• Turn off the water valve to the heater.
• For electric, switch off the breaker; for gas, set to pilot/off.
• Contain water safely.
