Customer had a leaking water heater. It was leaking from the base which indicates no repairs can be made. Removed old water heater as well as the stand. Spoke with customer about how the stand was making the heater too tall and causing the electrical wiring to be exposed. Decided to remove the old stand and place the new heater on top of a new energy pad. Added new stainless steel supply lines and removed the old supply line that was connected to the T&P valve. Installed new flowguard cpvc pipe for the T&P drain. Added earthquake straps as the previous tank did not have any. Began filling the tank as I connected the wiring. Opened the hot water lines at all fixtures to relieve air. Checked for leaks. Returned power to the tank. Checked for leaks. Cleaned up work area and checked for leaks again. Checked to make sure water heater was producing hot water. Thank you for choosing CPI!
