A leaking hot water tank can cause significant damage to your home and leave you without hot water. Regularly inspect your tank for signs of rust, corrosion, or leaks and flush the tank annually to prevent sediment buildup. If you spot a leak, shut off the water supply and power to the tank immediately. Temporary fixes like applying a pipe clamp might help, but replacing the tank may be necessary for long-term reliability.
