In this article I discuss what to do when your Hot Water Heater starts to leak.

Bradford White Hot Water Heater

My home hot water heater unit that is approximately 12 years old.

Issue

Recently my hot water heater started to leak. I suspect that it is the early warning of a complete failure of the tank so it is time to investigate getting a replacement. In my case my hot water heater is a Bradford White - Power Vent Gas unit that also acts as the heater for my baseent radiant flooring.
