11/18/23 Tyler S- on arrival I checked the water heater shut off valve and it seemed to still work. I was able to turn the water to the house and the waterheater shutoff valve does in fact work properly. The issue at hand was the electrical inside the waterheater was burned out, which caused the temperature to rise above a safe level and the pressure gave out at multiple locations. Because of all these events, the waterheater is unrepairable. 40g electric waterheater. Charged for replacing the copper water line above as well because it leaked due to releasing pressure.
