Ariston Water Heater Leaking Replacement: Resolving Water Damage 

Old storage water heater:
Ariston TI 50 H DX

New storage water heater:
Ariston PRO RS J 25

Customer Report:

A homeowner at Sunglade Condo contacted us after discovering water leakage from their Ariston water heater, which had caused ceiling damage in the unit below. The leak had led to water ingress stains and structural concerns, requiring immediate attention. Additionally, the existing access panel was too small for proper maintenance, making future servicing difficult. The homeowner sought a full replacement of the water heater and ceiling reinstatement, along with a compliant installation to prevent future issues.

Site Assessment Findings:

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified the following key concerns:

1. Severe Inner Tank Leakage – The Ariston water heater had a failing inner tank, causing continuous water seepage that damaged the ceiling below.
2. Insufficient Access Panel – The current access panel was too small, making maintenance and future replacements challenging.
3. Ceiling Water Damage – The leak had caused stains and structural weakening in the ceiling, requiring full reinstatement.

Proposed Solution:

To resolve these issues, we recommended:
Replacing the leaking Ariston water heater with a new Ariston AN2 30 RS of the same capacity.
Installing a new, larger access panel for easier future maintenance.
Reinstate the damaged ceiling to restore structural integrity.
