Called out today due to a pipe gushing water in the back yard, causing the back yard to be flooded. After investigation found the temperature and pressure relief line from the water heater to be the culprit. Water heater was 10+ yrs old and the thermal expansion tank had failed on it, so it was decided best to replace the water heater. Installed new Rheem 50 gal electric water heater up to code in a pan, with new properly supported thermal expansion tank and new shutoff valve. Adapted from cpvc to pex an and piped in the new unit. Turned water back on and tested. No issues. Home water pressure is perfect at 60 psi. Safe range is 50-79 psi. 6 yr manufacturer warranty 1 yr labor
