There's black soot going up my gas water heater and I'm extremely nervous. Anything I should do? I already turned the gas off to it. Also what exactly will turning the gas off effect? I'm completely new to this

Youve got a leak. Maybe just a seal, maybe larger parts. Its going to need to be looked at by a professional.

Its late here so I'm probably not gonna be able to have any one out at the moment. Is it cool to just turn the gas off for now?

yeah. No gas means no flame or suffocating in your sleep.

Thanks for the help, sorry for asking more questions. Do I need to only turn the gas off to the unit itself? And that will only effect hot water right? I can do without that for now

Just to the unit will be fine. That looks like a localized leak.

Cool thanks man, helped me calm down a bit. I know these questions are probably obvious but I'm pretty retarded when it comes to this shit. Never had my own place before.
