Furnace Leak Detection & Repair

Why Leaks Demand Immediate Attention

Even a slow drip under a furnace can saturate subfloors and create mold conditions within 24–48 hours. In Spring garages and utility closets, leaks often go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Early detection saves thousands in restoration costs.

Where Leaks Typically Originate

• Tank body — Corrosion eventually creates a hole. Once the tank itself leaks, the unit must be replaced.
• Inlet / outlet fittings — Loose or corroded connections at the top of the tank are common and usually repairable.
• Temperature & Pressure (T&P) valve — Discharge from the T&P can look like a tank leak. We determine whether the valve is faulty or responding to excess pressure/temperature.
• Drain valve — Older plastic drain valves crack or fail to seal after flushing.
• Condensation — On high-efficiency or cool-location units, condensation can be mistaken for a leak. We differentiate clearly.

Our Leak Response Process

1. Shut off water supply and power/gas if safe to do so.
2. Identify the exact source of the water.
3. Contain and clean standing water when possible.
4. Provide a clear repair or replacement recommendation with pricing.
5. Complete the work or schedule same-day replacement if the tank is compromised.

We also inspect seismic straps and flexible connectors during every leak call — many older Spring installations still lack proper bracing.
