Description
That brown water creeping toward the drain didn't start that morning. It started failing about ten years earlier, and nobody noticed. In this video I walk you through five ordinary water heater habits that don't flood anything this year, but set up the basement disaster in a year you can't name.
Here's what I cover, drawn from thirty years of seeing tanks let go:
- The little valve on your heater that's probably never been opened once
- The annual routine almost everyone does the same wrong way
- The quiet warning signs a tank gives long before it finally fails
- Simple habits that add years to the life of your water heater
If you own a home with a water heater in the basement, garage, or a closet, these are the five things worth knowing before the floor starts moving.
