    Is it the water heater or the Heater?
    Let me preface this by saying I have no intention of fixing the problem myself. The world is a safer place with my thumbs tied together!:) I have an exhaust pipe that extends over my water heater and from my heating unit and then exits the home through the ceiling. There is currently quite a bit of water leaking from it. I turned off the water heater and I am hearing something running, but it sound like water trickling through the exhaust. Water is pooling on top of the water heater? Who do I call?

    Thanks- amazingly enough, in the time between posting and the repair man coming, I figured out that the water was leaking, evaporating, and condensing in the exhaust vent. I just couldn't figure out why it was "raining" in my utility closet!
