Why does my hot water heater leak from the pressure relief valve?
Why might your water heater’s relief valve start leaking? Your water heater’s relief valve can start leaking for one of two reasons: either the valve was triggered to open because of excessive temperature or pressure, or the valve itself is faulty. If the problem is a faulty valve, then you might have an actual leak.

What happens if there is no pressure on one side of the shower valve?
With a pressure-balance valve, if only one side has pressure (in this case, the cold side), the valve will do what it’s designed to do and compensate for the lack of pressure on the other side. This results in either no water, or only a trickle making it through.
