Geyser leaks come from one of four places: the inlet/outlet connections, the safety valves, the drip tray overflow, or the cylinder itself. The first three are routine repairs. Cylinder leaks mean replacement. We diagnose accurately on the first visit and quote both options where the cylinder is borderline.
What we do
Inspect every joint, pressure-test the cylinder where leak source is uncertain, and replace the failed component. Where the cylinder has corroded through, we offer same-day replacement with full COC.
Where is your geyser leaking from?
The source tells you how serious it is.
| Leak source | Means | Action |
|---|---|---|
| T&P overflow (while heating) | Often normal expansion | Monitor; constant = valve fault |
| Vacuum breaker | Perished part | Cheap valve replacement |
| Drip tray filling | Cylinder/connection leak | Urgent — inspect |
| Cylinder body | Corroded tank | Replace geyser |
