Lineareagle Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 you sometimes get a break that goes beyond belief. I am finished my breakfast and get up to make a coffee to take out to the garage where I have about 4 hours of work to do. Then I think I'll go down to the bathroom in the basement first so I don't have to come back in later. Down the stairs I go and as I walk by the 'furnace, hot water alcove' I hear a sound like a small jet taking off. I don't remember either burner making that noise so I open the door and step in. Hmm funny, I guess I never really listened before. Then there is a rush of water around my feet. I reach up and turn off the water supply. The water runs over to the floor drain and starts to pool. I have a vapor trap in the drain and it takes some major effort to break it loose to allow the water to drain. If I had gone outside, if the drain never opened. Man what a mess I would have had.

Lineareagle Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes, very satisfying to have been there at the right moment. Because we rent our water heater, I gave them a call. Two ours later they are at the door, 45 minutes after that they are doing the final leak test and are gone. If I was still in business I would have tried to hire them, super couple of guys. The old tank was 20 years old, the new one he said would last a max of 8 years, more efficient but . . . Link to comment
