A tankless heater has no storage tank to split, so it cannot dump a whole load at once. It does sit on pressurized pipes. A loose fitting or cracked part can spray or drip for hours, and the water runs down the wall behind the unit before it shows on the floor.
Plumbers and cleanup crews often share one flooded room. The plumber needs room at the heater, and the crew needs space for hoses and air movers, so keep both paths clear.

How Tankless Water Heater Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Wall
-
Extract the standing water
Extraction starts once the supply is off and the room is safe to enter. Every gallon pulled out early is less water for the walls to absorb.
-
Map the moisture
A moisture meter and a thermal camera show where water spread beyond the puddle. The technician marks wet walls and floors and records the readings.
-
Open what holds water
Baseboards come off so wall bottoms can breathe. Small cuts in drywall let air reach wet insulation and studs.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings and the equipment log go into the job file, and the homeowner gets copies for the claim.

- Turn the unit's power off at the breaker only if the panel is in a dry spot.
- Smell gas from a gas model? Leave and call the gas utility.
- Do not wipe the unit or touch electrical parts with wet hands.
- Photograph the fittings, the wall and the floor before anything is cleaned up.
