In Hot Water

There have been a few dramatic before and afters featured on House Vintage, but this is not one of them! A flooded garage last week, told me that the water heater was leaking.  I'm quick like that!  The first order of business was to turn off the water to the heater to stop the leak.  Unfortunately, the valve was broken.  I later learned from my plumber that those values typically give out at about the same time as the unit.  How convenient!  Instead the water to the entire house had to be turned off.
