The Dangers of a Leaky Water Heater

Water heater leaks may start out small, but can quickly escalate and cause major flooding in your home and threaten the safety of your family, tenants, or employees. Some possible dangers associated with this hazard are:

  • Hot Water Burns
  • Electrocution or Electrical Fires
  • Dangerous Mold and Mildew
  • Damage to Walls, Floors, Furniture
  • Personal Property Damage

By nature, water heaters contain scalding water, and if you are in the vicinity when it breaks, you can be severely burned or electrocuted. This leaking can also cause expensive water damage to your home and belongings, and may trigger an electrical fire.

Mold, Property Damage, and Other Effects of Water Loss

An overflowing water heater can cause your wooden floors to buckle, cup, or bulge, and can permanently stain carpets, linoleum, and tile flooring. Extreme floods can also irreparably damage the subfloors of your home. Wet walls need immediate attention and may require complete replacement in some cases.

When a water heater breaks, it may also severely damage furniture and personal property. While some pieces may be salvageable, water often completely destroys certain materials and can ruin family heirlooms and important keepsakes.

If excess moisture remains, mold may begin to grow within your walls, under your flooring, and on the surfaces of your belongings. In addition to causing extensive damage, mildew also presents serious health risks – namely allergic reactions and respiratory illnesses.

We can help you remedy the problem and if necessary, remove the mold or mildew.
