Customer Stated: This is a rental property, and the tenant stated every time it would rain the water heater would shut off due to water leaking into crawl space. Tech Notes: Upon inspection I found that this is a Rheem 40 gallon short natural gas water heater located in the crawlspace of home, and is not even a year of age which is still within manufacture warranty. I found no mechanical failures with this unit on today’s visit, but per the notes we were called out to give a quote on having hot/cold water lines along with the gas line extended into garage of home to connect with brand new water heater. While on site I did notice that there were electrical outlets, and the circuit breaker was located in the garage as well. The circuit breaker was about 6 feet from where we could tie in to our hot/cold three-quarter inch waterlines. I would recommend going to a 50 gallon electric versus trying to tie into a new gas line. I have options for both installing gas, and electric water heaters
