What Causes a Hot Water Cylinder to Leak?

Inner Tank Damage Is the Most Common Culprit

Hot water cylinders – whether gas or electric – are made up of three main layers:

  • A steel outer casing

  • A layer of insulation

  • An inner tank (usually copper, steel, or stainless steel)

Over time, that inner tank can crack or corrode – often due to age, internal pressure, or movement. Once that happens, water starts escaping from inside the cylinder. Unfortunately, once the inner tank is damaged, it can’t be patched or repaired – the only long-term solution is to replace it.
