T&P Relief Valve Leaking — FAQs

Why is my temperature and pressure relief valve leaking?

A dripping T&P relief valve is doing its job—or warning you of a problem. It can mean excessive pressure, too-high temperature, thermal expansion without an expansion tank, or simply a worn valve. We diagnose the cause and correct it to code.

Can I fix this myself?

Some basic checks (like resetting a breaker) are safe, but most water heater repairs involve gas, electricity, or water under pressure and should be handled by a licensed pro for safety and code compliance.

How much will the repair cost?

It depends on the part and labor involved. We provide a flat, upfront price after diagnosis—and free estimates.

Should I repair or replace?

If your unit is under 8–10 years old, repair usually makes sense. If it's older or the tank itself is failing, replacement may be smarter. We give honest advice.
