Common causes include a failed T&P relief valve, a corroded tank body, loose inlet or outlet fittings, or an exhausted anode rod. A corroded tank body cannot be repaired and requires full system replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal for a hot water system to drip water?
A small discharge from the T&P relief valve during heating is normal. Continuous water flow from the valve, or any water from the tank body or connections, is not normal and requires a plumber.
What should I do if my hot water system is leaking in Melbourne?
Turn off the cold water inlet isolation valve and the power or gas supply. Call a licensed plumber for assessment before restoring power or gas.
