Hot Water Heater Pan Importance!
Copyright (c) 2011, Deanna & Jim's GOLD Team
Every tank-style hot water heater should have a catch pan with a drain installed beneath it.
When hot water heaters age they eventually rust out. When this occurs they leak all the water they hold out the bottom. If there is a catch pan with a drain the water harmlessly flows out the drain.
If, of course, there is no catch pan you have 50+ gallons of water going being discharged under the hot water heater. This can be most unpleasant.
The costs of the water damage may be significant. The cost of the pan and drain are nominal.
Let he who has ears listen.
