My water heater is the electric kind, but I can tell you what I do know about gas, and once the flame is lit, something needs to tell the gas valve that you have flame...i.e. thermocouple, proof of flame sensor, check and make sure it's not bad or might have been hit and not "seeing" the flame.....good luck

Several factors behind hot water heater leaking are generally associated with the water lines joints or the gaskets of the pressing relief valve. Also, it is possible that the trigger from the leaky water is because of piping getting in and also out of the water heater. However if the leaking might be caused by a weakened junction from one from the joints which are generally unfastened or simply used up, you may simply repair it through sometimes tightening up the joints or switching the broken down bolts without bringing about an excessive amount of expense on correcting this problem. You may possibly not desire to see it still actually tiny hot water boiler spills might quickly contribute to greater complications. Fire and various hazardous smoke at a boiler seeping may well initiate another threat for you and your folks.
