Before diving into the reasons for a dripping relief valve, let’s briefly recap its role. Relief valves are safety devices installed in hot water systems to prevent excessive pressure buildup. When the pressure within the system surpasses a safe level, the relief valve opens to release water or steam, ensuring the system remains within a safe operating range so its likely to find your relief valve dripping when the system is heating. As the water heats it expands creating this excess pressure which is when the relief valve will open and begin to drip.

By understanding the potential causes and taking appropriate actions, you can ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your hot water system. If you’re unsure about troubleshooting the issue on your own, it’s always wise to seek assistance from a qualified plumber who can diagnose and address the problem effectively.
