Other causes of ectropion are scarring, burns, trauma (called cicatricial ectropion), spasm of the orbicularis muscle, which may affect either the upper or lower eyelid, or paralysis of the orbicularis muscle in which only the lower eyelid is affected.
It is possible that there is nothing wrong with your water heater. There is a pressure relief valve on top that may be releasing water because your primary water pressure reduction valve for the house is worn out. The fact that the leak is intermittent suggests this.
Now that you know where the leak is, youâll want to slow the leak to prevent further water damage. First, turn off the water heater. 1  For electric water heaters, find the water heaterâs circuit breaker and flip it to âoff.â. 2  For gas water heaters, look on your water heater for an on/off switch or dial. 3  Turn it to âoff.â.
