Finding the Source
Water at the base is not always coming from the tank. Check only from a dry, safe position for wet fittings, a discharge pipe, a drain valve, rust, or a bulging tank. Water may travel before it reaches the floor.
Repair or Replacement
A connection or valve may be repairable, while a leaking or corroded tank commonly points toward replacement. Capacity, fuel type, space, venting, age, and household demand can affect the recommendation.

Cost factors
Pricing depends on the specific scope, conditions, materials/equipment, access, timing and provider terms. Call with the details you know so the appropriate next step can be discussed.
Safety First
If water is spreading, isolate the supply when safe. For electric equipment, use the circuit shutoff if appropriate. Do not remove panels, cap a relief valve, or restart equipment that has been submerged.
Preparing for Help
Clear stored items, keep the area accessible, and have model information ready if it can be read safely. Note whether the water is hot, how quickly it accumulates, and whether hot water remains available.
