Do not try to find the leak. Leave the house right away, without flipping switches or using anything that could spark. Call 911 or the gas utility from outside. Once the area is declared safe, a licensed gas fitter can repair the heater.
When a tank bursts, repair is not an option. In many cases, a replacement heater can be installed the same day, especially for common sizes of gas and electric tanks. The permit and inspection are still handled properly, so a rushed job does not become a code problem later. If you have time to plan ahead, the water heater replacement page explains every option.
Most water heater emergencies come from tanks that were past their prime. A yearly tune-up and a plan to replace older tanks before they fail are the best insurance. A drain pan and a water leak alarm under the heater add another layer of protection.
Emergencies do not pick a neighborhood. Technicians respond to burst tanks in West Revere basements, flooded utility rooms in Point of Pines and Oak Island after coastal storms, and failed heaters in condo buildings along Revere Beach.

Often, yes. Same-day replacement depends on having a suitable heater available for your size and fuel type. Common gas and electric tank sizes are usually easiest to replace quickly.
Shut off the cold water supply to the heater, turn off the gas or the breaker, and open a hot water tap to relieve pressure. Then call for emergency service.
A leak can damage floors and walls and create electrical hazards. A leaking relief valve may signal high pressure or temperature. Both should be handled urgently.
Emergency service may cost more than a scheduled visit, especially at night or on holidays. You always know the price before any work begins.
