Well folks, 2am and this wacky night owl is up
well I was woken up 30 minutes ago by wife who was doing the laundry
(yes at 2 am)
to say "come and look the hot water tank is leaking" ... AND to my fuqing annoyance "Did you mess around with it when you where down here last"
Wife had already turned off hot water supply to tank and sure enough a nice big puddle in our un finished basement
can't see where the leak is, no hot water, but the tank is a rental, wife rang them so,someone is coming tomorrow
good thing, is near the tank they fitted a drain in the floor, so it looks like it all drained into there.
SO..... a question, well a couple
1> as we may not have noticed till morning, is there any warning alarm or anything to have pre-warned us ?
2> We are looking at finishing the basement, into a party room, with a washroom etc. is there anything can be build like a raised brick on the floor to kinda channel any leaks into the drain
we've had the tank 15 years from new, so may not be a problem for another 15years
is tankless a way to go ?
any and all ideas appreciated
not expecting any night owls,
so speak tommorow
