A tankless heater has no big tank to burst. It leaks from fittings, isolation valves, the heat exchanger or, on condensing models, the condensate drain.
Waiting on a replacement tank is no reason to leave a wet floor. A crew can pump out and start drying while the plumber's part is on order.

- Close the cold water valve to the unit.
- Turn off the gas valve and the unit's power.
- Put a pan or towel under the drip, and keep away from wet wiring.
- Move items out of the cabinet or off the shelf below.
- Photograph the unit, the fittings and the wet wall.
