Leaking Water Heater Replacement in Stockton, CA

At Knights Plumbing & Drain, water heater problems often start quietly — until they don’t.

We recently responded to a service call in Stockton, CA, where a homeowner discovered water collecting near their 40-gallon tank-style water heater. At first, they thought it might be condensation or a loose connection. But after a thorough inspection, our technician found the real cause: an internal leak in the tank.

When a water heater tank begins leaking from the inside, it usually indicates that the inner lining has corroded, often due to age, sediment buildup, or lack of maintenance. Unfortunately, internal leaks aren’t fixable. Once the tank is compromised, replacement is the only safe and effective option.

✅ Here’s how we helped:

✔️ Safely disconnected and removed the leaking unit

✔️ Installed a new, energy-efficient 40-gallon water heater, ensuring proper temperature and pressure settings

✔️ Reconnected all plumbing and gas lines to code

✔️Flushed and tested the system to confirm safe operation

✔️Cleaned the workspace and gave the customer helpful tips for extending the life of their new unit

Now the homeowner has hot water restored, and no more mystery puddles in the garage.

Pro Tip: If your water heater is over 8–10 years old, it’s a good idea to schedule a quick inspection, especially if you notice longer heating times, rumbling noises, or water around the base.
