Precautions You Can Take to Prevent Damage from Water Heater Leaks

Here’s Bryan talking about water heater leaks.

Summary of the Preventing Damage from Water Heater Leaks Video

There’s a water heater pan which is the first catch. So, you’ve got a water heater pan and that has a drain going to the outside usually if it’s in the attic. Now, one thing you can do to kind of make sure that that pan does its job is to make sure that you don’t have insulation and things in the pan that are going to stop up that drain when it starts leaking.

A Clean Pan Can Prevent Damage from Water Heater Leaks

A lot of times when they put them in people will be up there working. When it’s a new house especially, there’ll be stuff working. You’ll get insulation, you’ll get trash, you’ll get wood chips, and stuff that are in the pan. If you make sure that pan’s cleaned out, if that tank does start to leak, then it should drain out properly. 

Now, it’s not… You could get spiders to build a nest in there or something happened and it not do its job then it over flows. There is an alarm that you can have installed, but again you’re going to have to be home to hear that alarm go off (unless your water alarm is connected to your home alarm system).
