was lucky, got to check something in the garage tonight and there is water on the floor spreading across
Coming from water heater.
Some cardboard boxes in that area on the floor (not smart I know, but the shelves are full) with valuable stuff including some stuff that should not get wet...
so major scrambling, drying off, wet vacuuming...
water dripping from bottom of heater.
Closer inspection shows the top insulation wet. The top is where the water connections are. So probably one of these rusted through? Can't quite see.
Unless the anode is up there some place. Anybody knows?
Any common leakage spot up there some place?
Heater is 21 years old so not too bad.
So, not so friendly reminder to myself: Don't put cardboard boxes directly on the floor if at all possible, dummy...!
