If water appears in a basement or utility closet, it may have traveled down from a higher pipe or fitting. Keep clear of wet electrical equipment and see the guide to water under a heater for common sources.
Common leak clues
In a basement or utility closet, water from a heater can run along a pipe or tank before it reaches the floor. Note the highest wet point you can see safely; the puddle itself may not show the source.
- A valve or connection is dripping in a basement or utility closet
- A pan is filling and you need help identifying the source
- A tank leak is prompting a repair-versus-replacement decision
If the leak is near wiring or you smell gas, prioritize safety and explain that immediately. For an active leak, review the emergency leak safety guide.
Stay safe around a leak
