Well it's 3:15 AM and instead of being sound asleep and dreaming of half nekkid sexy man slaves I'm swimming in my basement full of water. 🙁
The pressure relief valve is spewing boiling hot water everywhere! I've moved aything can might get damaged and threw every blanket I own down there to sop up most of the mess.
It's stopped for the moment but who knows when it's going to explode again. For the first time in my life I'm thinking having a man around the house might not always be a bad thing. 😕

How very perverted of you. I'm knee deep in water at 3 in the morning and not by choice over here. Plumbing myself is not on the agenda for this evening.

Although..........may be not such a bad idea. 😉
After reading all about TPR valves I know why it's leaking. Still don't know how to stop it. Bit concerned about the the part that states "Water heaters can become bombs if the pressure gets too high and these valves fail to work."
Both my kitchen sink and bathroom sink have been leaking for months now. Both hot water. I was turning the valve under the kitchen sink off to prevent the leaking but the bathroom taps don't have the same valves. I don't know how to shut off the water in the bathroom sink.
I don't know if the TPR valve is going off because of the extreme hot temperature of the water from constanly running or from pressure building up as a result of me turning off the water in the kitchen.
Either way all I want to do is go to sleep. 😴
Originally posted by mokkoPossibly but TPR valves also just have a habit of failing when they get old; your best bet is just to replace it. No point botching a fix and having the same old swimming palaver happening all over again!

Best thing you can do is turn off the water supply to the tank and go to bed. Then go to the hardware store for a a new valve in the morning.
