It is normal for water to drip from the temperature and pressure relief valve when the system is heating because water expands as it is heated. If the valve drips or runs continuously, the hot water temperature and cold water inlet pressure needs to be checked. If the water is too hot, the thermostat needs to be adjusted or replaced. If the inlet pressure is too high, the pressure limiting valve should be checked or replaced.
Have you checked the fuse or circuit breaker for your hot water heater? If the fuse is unbroken, you may have a dead element or thermostat. If the fuse has blown, you may reset it, but it is more than likely that an electrical fault, such as a faulty element and/or thermostat, has caused the tripped fuse and the problem will reoccur. Depending on the age of the heater, you have the option of repairing or replacing the water heater.
This is normally an early sign that the inner lining of the steel hot water cylinder has eroded and that failure of the integrity of the cylinder is imminent. Please call Able Hot Water and if the water heater is located inside the house, do not wait too long before taking action, due to a higher risk of water damage.
