If Your Water Heater Is Failing Right Now

Shut the Cold Water Supply Valve

The valve is at the top of the unit — a red or blue handle or small gate valve. Turn clockwise until fully closed. This stops water from entering the tank and limits what escapes from any failure point.

Turn Gas Control to PILOT or OFF

The control dial is on the front of the unit. Turn from HOT to PILOT or OFF. Do not leave a failing unit continuing to heat. For electric units, flip the circuit breaker at your main panel.

Protect the Affected Area

If water is spreading toward finished areas, move valuables and absorb what you can. If water has reached electrical panels, outlets, or wiring — leave the area immediately and call from a safe location.
