• Gas Lines and Pilot Light Issues


Wet areas around your hot water heater could be a sign of a leak. The first step is to isolate and try to find where the leak is coming from so it can be repaired. If your leak is massive, you may need to turn off your water until the repair can be completed. Contact Zeus Plumbing, Inc. and we can walk you through shutting off your supply to your hot water heater and schedule an appointment.


Leaks at the bottom of your hot water heater could be a sign that your hot water heater needs to be replaced due to corrosion. Hot water heater’s over time can rust and gain sediment at the bottom of the tank. If these issues are not taken care of promptly, a massive leak can occur damaging the location of the hot water heater, leaving you without hot water, make mold or mildew, and can put you at risk.

Zeus Plumbing will check your temperature gauges, pilot lights, tank, and lines to make sure this is not the issue.
