Re: [A/S] RE: Help! rear end fresh water leak!
Barbara, there was some talk about water leaking from the
temperature/pressure relief valve on the water heater. If you have a leak
there, give this a shot. There is supposed to be a cushion of air at the top
of the water tank. If the tank is full of water and does not have this air
cushion, when the water is heated it will expand and open the relief valve
due to over pressurization. To regain the air cushion, shut off the water
supply, open a hot water faucet, then open the lever on the pressure relief
valve on the water heater. This should drain any excess water from the water
heater. You may want to give this a try if you think your pressure relief
valve is leaking.
