Customer has a leak at the drain down spout of the water heater, he hand tightened a cap but it is still leaking. Customer denied any work at this time and wants a recommendation so that he can have his home warranty change out the water heater. The water heater is over 20 years old and severely not up to code, the damage the water has done to the very minimal stand is alarming. In my recommendation the water heater needs to be replaced before it causes serious damage to the home. Provided estimates to the customer and emailed my recommendation as well.
