Dealing with an active tank leak, gas smell, or complete loss of hot water? Speak immediately by phone with a local water heater specialist to evaluate the situation and coordinate fast repair response.
Taking immediate action can prevent thousands of dollars in water or structural damage.
Natural gas smells like rotten eggs or sulfur. If you detect this odor, do not turn lights on or off, operate phones inside, or attempt to light the pilot. Evacuate everyone and call SoCalGas (1-800-427-2200) or 911 immediately.
Locate the water shut-off valve on the cold water pipe directly above the water heater. Turn a ball-valve lever 90 degrees or turn a gate-valve wheel clockwise until firmly tight to stop pressurized water from feeding the leak.
For electric water heaters, switch the dedicated 30-amp circuit breaker in your electrical panel to the OFF position. For gas water heaters, rotate the thermostat control dial on the front of the tank to the OFF or PILOT position.
