Burst Water Heater Repair & Replacement Denton, TX
Water heaters are a common point of failure in modern plumbing systems, mainly because we work them so hard.
For their lifespans in your home or business they see pretty much continuous use. This wear and tear can sometimes be coupled with poor water conditions and can actually accelerate the demise of your water heater.
If you’ve ever had a water heater fail or burst then you probably know that a small torrent of water comes along with it.
If the water heater happens to burst when there is nobody around to take care of the problem it can continue pumping water into your home or building.
The exposed heating element (it’s no longer in water remember!) can actually become a fire hazard.

What Should You Do If Your Atlanta Water Heater Bursts?
You Need To Stop The Water
If your water heater is easily accessible you’ll need to figure out which is the cold water supply on your water heater. This specific pipe is feeding your water heater from the main water line and needs to be shut off to stop the flow of water. When a hot water heater is working properly the water will actually stop flowing once your water heater’s tank is full. Should your water heater actually bursts, then the tank will actually try to keep itself full. As it continues filling itself the water is actually draining out into your home.
You Need To Turn Off The Power Supply
If the electric or gas heating element in your burst water tank is not submerged you run the real risk of a fire. Once the tank bursts and the water all flows out, the element stays on, trying to heat the water that isn’t there. Most elements rely on water temperature to tell them when to turn on or off. To manually shut off the power to your water heater simply locate and flip the breaker in your electrical box. Often it is well marked.
If your hot water heater happens to be a gas-powered unit then you’ll need to shut off the gas supply either at the tank or your safety shut off, which should be built in.
Cleaning Up The Water Mess In Your Building
Call Denton Emergency Plumbing at (940) 260-8383. We can quickly come to your location and assess the damage and begin a plan of action. We’ll shut off the water and the power if you haven’t already. We have special equipment to extract the water and heavy duty extraction and drying fans to quickly dry the area of any moisture.
At the same time we’ll be spraying a special anti-microbial spray anywhere the water came in contact with. This will prevent the growth of molds and other bacteria as well as prevent any nasty smells that might occur. We will remove any undamaged furniture, boxes or other salvageable items from the water-damaged area.
Denton Emergency Plumbing can document the entire cleanup process for you so you can present the document to your insurance company if you weren’t already referred here by an insurance claims adjuster.
