Decided to take a break from OG for a potty break and heard a strange noise coming from the basement. Looked down the stairs and the basement is flooded. The water heated gave up the ghost.Water spewing out the  bottom, and the shut off valve wouldn't work so I had to shut down the whole house. Good news is I have utility insurance to cover it.You would think it should have lasted more than 30 years.  :character0029:

Man that stinks, they just don't make things like they use too.  When you replace it make sure they or you put ball valves on the hot and the cold sides. Ball valves will last you longer. Good luck.

I feel your pain, Red. The worst possible thing, at the worst possible time. But the good news. It could've been worse..
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

That's one of the few good things about living in FLA. We don't have basements. My hot water heater is in the garage, so when it gave up the ghost, it went under the garage door and down the driveway.
