Water heater leak cleanup in Lake San Marcos typically runs from about $500 to $2,800 depending on how long the leak ran before discovery and whether the water reached flooring outside the garage or closet. A contained garage leak caught the same day sits on the low end; a slow leak that ran for an extended period and reached adjoining carpeted or wood flooring sits toward the high end. Replacing the water heater itself is a separate plumbing cost, while cleanup and drying are typically documented as part of the water-damage claim.
