Water Heater Leak Cleanup in Shelby, Lincolnton, Bowling Green & Gastonia

Why Water Heater Leaks in Cleveland County & Surrounding Areas?

Generally, the reason behind a water heater leak is not always clear, but the common reason is rust corrosion within the tank. As water heaters are mostly made of steel and store large amounts of heated water, the rust at the fitting and seams causes leaking and exploding the tank over time.

Minerals in your hard water can also be a cause of water heater leak. Over the passage of time minerals create a layer at the bottom of the tank that acts as a barrier between the water and the burner. It prevents the thermostat to sense the temperature of water properly. Therefore the burner runs longer, as result, water becomes overheated and expanded in volume causing excessive internal pressure on the tank and leading to a water heater leak and burst.

Effects of Water Heater Burst:

• The water may absorb bacteria and rust if rust corrosion is the reason behind the explosion. So, after the burst, your floor, walls may end up getting stained and tough to clean. Overflow of water can be a breeding ground of molds and mildews if not cleaned soon.
• As the water gets absorbed into the particle boards and swells, it may rot the floor and decay.
• Water seeping down the foundation has the potential to cause the foundation to be weakened and lead to other damages.
