What if the tank is leaking?
Stay clear of hot water and electrical parts. Shut off water or power only if you know the safe control.
No hot water, a leak near the tank, or a new rumble from the closet or corner where the water heater lives - in a lot of Brunswick's older houses it's not a utility room at all - needs more than a guess. Give us 2 minutes on the phone and keep a safe distance from the gas and electrical parts.
Tell us whether the water's fully cold, where the leak shows up, and whether a breaker or control changed. Don't pull panels or relight gas equipment.

We check the heater type, the controls, and the connections, then the drain and relief areas and any visible corrosion, based on what you tell us.
Diagnosis first, then a written recommendation and your approval. After that comes the repair, and we test the system again before we call it done.
A valve, a control, or a connection is often repairable. A leaking tank or a bigger equipment issue is a separate replacement conversation after we diagnose it. ENERGY STAR points to 10 to 15 years as one signal to weigh replacement.

A control, the power, or the burner could be at fault. So could a bad connection.
Yes. Leave the home and call 911 or the gas utility from outside.
Tell us what changed and what the system is doing now.
