Tank Leak Repair
Leaking conventional tank? We pinpoint whether it's a fitting, valve, or the tank itself — and repair what's repairable.
Learn More →Water on the floor near your heater doesn't automatically mean the heater is leaking. In Medford basements — especially in winter — we regularly trace 'heater leaks' to sweating cold-water pipes, a dripping washing-machine hose two feet away, foundation seepage, or a humidifier drain. Replacing a water heater that isn't actually leaking is an expensive mistake.
Our leak detection service exists to prevent exactly that. We systematically trace moisture to its true source using visual inspection, moisture meters, pressure testing, and thermal imaging — and if the source isn't your heater, we'll tell you straight and point you to the right fix.
This is our most common winter detection call. Cold water entering the tank chills the steel shell, and warm, humid basement air condenses on it — dripping down and pooling exactly like a leak. True condensation stops once the tank reaches temperature and the basement air dries; a real leak doesn't. We know the tests that tell them apart definitively, including timed dry-down checks and thermal imaging.
We start with the obvious — fittings, valves, and seams — then widen the net: dye-tracing in suspect areas, pressure-holding tests on the tank, moisture mapping of the floor and walls, and inspection of nearby plumbing, the T&P discharge line, and condensate drains. Every finding is shown to you, not just described.
About a third of our detection calls end with good news: the heater is fine. A sweating pipe gets insulated, a loose washing-machine connection gets tightened, or a dehumidifier setting gets adjusted — fixes costing a fraction of a heater replacement. The detection fee is the cheapest money you'll spend if it prevents an unnecessary replacement.

Learn More →Several ways: condensation follows temperature and humidity cycles and stops when conditions change; a leak is persistent. We use timed dry-down tests, moisture meters, and thermal imaging to confirm — no guessing.
Then we'll tell you exactly what it is and what kind of contractor you actually need. We'd rather earn your trust with honesty than sell you a heater you don't need.
