They\u2019re easily fixed by replacing the broken drain valve.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Corrosion: <\/strong>Sediment buildup can cause corrosion, cracking, and holes in the bottom of the tank. When this happens, it\u2019s usually time for water heater replacement.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Loose water line connections:<\/strong> Normal wear and tear can loosen the inlet or outlet water lines, causing leaks. This problem can usually be fixed by tightening or replacing the loose, worn water lines.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Broken temperature\/pressure valves:<\/strong> As their name suggests, these valves monitor and regulate the temperature and pressure inside water heaters. When they break, they can cause water leaks from the sides of a water heater tank.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Of course, various other things can cause water heater leaks\u2014and, sometimes, these leaks are the result of multiple issues.
