Finding The Source
Look for water at the supply connections, drain valve, relief piping, tank base, and nearby floor. Water can travel from another fixture, so the puddle alone may not identify the source.
Repair Or Replacement
A loose fitting or valve may be repairable, while corrosion at the tank or water emerging from a seam may lead to replacement considerations. Heater type, age, pressure, sediment, and installation affect the decision.

Immediate Precautions
If safe, shut off the heater water supply and energy source according to the equipment instructions. Do not touch wet electrical parts, remove panels, or operate switches where gas or electrical danger may exist.
Prepare For Help
Note whether the water is hot, when it began, and whether sounds or hot-water performance changed. Clear access without moving the heater and ask about testing, capacity, venting, connections, and removal if replacement is needed.
