Why Is My Navien Tankless Water Heater Leaking Water?

Water leaking from a Navien tankless water heater should never be ignored. Even small leaks can cause water damage, corrosion, component failure, and unexpected system shutdowns.

Hot Water Pros provides professional Navien diagnostics and repair throughout Indianapolis and surrounding communities.

Common Causes Of Navien Water Leaks

Several issues can cause a Navien tankless water heater to leak:

  • Failed O-rings

  • Loose fittings

  • Heat exchanger leaks

  • Condensate drain problems

  • Condensate trap issues

  • Pressure relief valve discharge

  • Excessive water pressure

  • Expansion tank problems

  • Freeze damage

  • Internal component failure

Where Is The Water Coming From?

Identifying the leak location can help narrow down the cause.

Common leak locations include:

  • Bottom of the unit

  • Condensate drain connection

  • Water supply connections

  • Relief valve piping

  • Internal heat exchanger

  • Recirculation components

  • Isolation valves

Not all leaks indicate a major repair. Some are relatively simple to correct when caught early.

Can I Continue Using My Navien If It's Leaking?

In many cases, continued operation is not recommended.

Water leaks may:

  • Damage electronics

  • Cause corrosion

  • Trigger error codes

  • Create safety concerns

  • Lead to more expensive repairs

If a leak is present, the system should be inspected as soon as possible.

Signs You Need Professional Navien Repair

  • Visible water around the unit

  • Dripping from the bottom of the heater

  • Rust or corrosion

  • Water stains on nearby surfaces

  • Repeated pressure relief valve discharge

  • Error codes after leaking begins

  • Sudden loss of hot water

Repeated Shutdowns Usually Mean The Underlying Problem Has Not Been Fixed

Many homeowners temporarily restore hot water by resetting their Navien, only to experience the same shutdown again days later. Repeated shutdowns often indicate ignition, venting, pressure, or maintenance-related problems that require proper diagnosis.

​

Hot Water Pros can identify the root cause and help prevent future interruptions.

Hot Water Pros did exceptional work for me; they will be my go-to for all future plumbing needs. Cameron and his crew are incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and professional. Their workmanship is first-rate, and their pricing is very competitive. When my 10-year-old water heater started to leak, they took the time to understand my needs and didn’t try to sell me on installing more than what my family and I need or will use. That kind of service is special.
