Identify The Reason Behind The Leak

Did you notice puddles near the base of your Champs water heater? This can be due to many reasons such as your water heater may be leaking or other water heater issues such as condensation from the pipes of the water heater. Additionally, it can be to the plumbing system of your home, the exterior body of the water heater, or even other household appliances. 

What you should do when your Champs water heater is leaking is first to inspect nearby appliances and the overhead pipes for any water leaks. Then use a mop to dry the wet area, and check if it will form a puddle again after a while. If the puddle will form again, then it means that your Champs storage water heater is leaking.

A thing you did not know about water heaters is that they will keep on heating as long as the water heater is turned on, and you might experience serious burns. Additionally, since the Champs water heater is an electrical appliance, there are possible risks of a leaking water heater such as electrocution. Therefore, it is a wise step to turn off the power supply. 

 

Turn Off Water Supply

In case you do not know the reason why your storage water heater is leaking, and it is not a serious problem, then leave your water supply on to assess the issue. If the leak is serious, turn the dial gate valve clockwise or pull down the handle to close the valve. In case the valve is unreachable without encountering the leak, then it is necessary to turn off the main valve to completely stop the water leak. If you ignore this step, then your water heater may fail.
