<Water Tank question> Can someone tell me if I need to turn off the gas to my water tank?

Asked by Pandora (32211points) October 27th, 2015

My water tank is leaking at the bottom. My Home Warranty told me that the plumber should call me within 24 hours. Meanwhile, I do not know if its ok to turn off the gas and water to the tank. If I do, does that mean that I will not get any water to the rest of the house? Or will I only get cold water? And if I turn off the gas, is there a valve only for the water heater or my furnace as well. They are right next to each other. Or does the tank have its own gas valve?
