🎬 Bremen, here is a basement water heater leak from start to dry.
This job is right here in Bremen. Frame 1: water had pooled on the basement floor around the water heater and along the block wall, with paint peeling off the bottom of the wall. Frame 2: we opened up the wet flooring so we could reach what was trapped underneath. Frame 3: drying underway with a dehumidifier pulling moisture out of the space.
Water heaters don't last forever. Most give a warning first: rust at the base, a small drip from the valve, or a damp spot on the floor nobody notices because it is in the basement. When the tank finally fails, it can put dozens of gallons on the floor fast.
✅ Check your water heater this weekend:
• Look for rust or water around the base of the tank
• Check the pressure relief valve and pipe for drips
• Note the age on the label (many last about 8 to 12 years)
• Keep the area around it clear so leaks are easy to spot
• Know where your main water shutoff is
