Well I am not sure of the date on ours but it went today like the titanic....
My wife gets up before me so she showered and then went to our downstairs bathroom to blow dry her hair and not wake me. While she was in the basement bathroom she felt her feet get wet and came running for me. I though the house was on fire with the sounds she was making!
Luckily we caught it early and before we had left for work. Our basement is completely finished so I might need to replace the dry wall and baseboard closest to our furnace room but other wise the water found its way across our bathroom to the floor drain. Looks like the water is coming from the bottom of the tank.
The tank did not leak that I know of but something with the water intake as once I shut off the water to the heater the water stopped coming out. We pay a monthly fee for hot water heater/central air/furnace repairs so waiting for them to come out and have a look....they said maybe today, but probably tomorrow. Suckage with no hot water.
Since my wife was already showered she went to work and I stayed home in case they show up today. Tomorrow I'll go to work and she'll be home. I'll be filling up the tub with water heated on the stove tonight...sigh.
Just glad we were home when it started to leak. Could have been so much worse.
