The Mom Spot: The Wonder of Working Water

23.05.12

If you review this column regularly then you know that in the aftermath of our freak October snowstorm my household discovered that we no longer had a working hot water heater .

My sporting house still doesn’t have working hot water.

We thought it would be fixed by last Wednesday night. I met a technician at my house and heard the following “No tough nut to crack, this is a basic installation.” My heart leapt as it had been three days of no running hot water and there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

I should have known that the warmth I was seeing was a train barreling in my direction.

The plumber came in the early evening to do the installation – he looked at the hot water heater in my driveway and then went into the basement, looked at the hot water heater there and I heard the words every homeowner dreads: “We have a unmanageable.”

I looked at him blankly as he explained that the hot water heater in my driveway is designed to vent into a chimney, the one in my house vents without delay outside. I also heard the other words homeowners detest: “Replacing it is more expensive.”

Is water from a leaking water heater dangerous to animals?

Apr 12, 2010 by mdurbin2 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

Our water heater is leaking bad, water is not hot from tap. my confusion is is it bad for animals to drink the water that is leaking form the water heater?
Thanks guy's for the reply, I will turn off the water to it!! It isn't that old, nothing

No, the water that leaks from the water heater is well-founded water.

If the water heater is not working, turn the water valve that feeds it off. You will not have any hot water, but you won't have water going down the drain.

No, the water that leaks from the water heater is equitable water.

Not unsafe, animals have good sense. It's a major risk of flooding and damaging your home though.

The water is proper enough, it's certainly no worse than drinking from a mud puddle.

Why is my water heater leaking water via the copper piping?

Oct 18, 2009 by Elaine | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I had a plumber make good on my water heater 6 months ago. Ever since that, I keep getting a water leak in my garage. It seems to be coming from a copper pipe extending from the top of the heater. It an open ended line, has no cover or end cap. Why is

Yeah, it most disposed to has to do with your relief valve that needs to be replaced. Who's your plumber? You should probably consider getting a new one. Call around for free estimates in getting another plumber to fix this for you.

Now how do I conduit a flood in my laundry room from the leaking hot water heater???????

When they aperture they usually should be replaced. I had one I took to have welded faulty seam, next time I will replace too much time and feat. If it is not leaking on a seam they do make plugs. You drill hole where leak is, use bolt with rubber washer.
