Water heater leak cleanup in Glendale typically runs from about $400 to $1,800, depending on whether the water stayed contained to a garage or utility closet or traveled into an adjoining room. A contained garage leak sits on the low end, while a leak that reached a laundry room or bedroom closet with baseboard and drywall damage sits on the high end.
