A puddle round the water heater at six in the morning, and three kids to get to school. The tank had rusted through at the base, so there was nothing to repair.
We had a 50-gallon tank on the van. The old one was drained and out by eight, the new one in with new valves, flexible connectors and an expansion tank, and the water hot again before lunch. We hauled the old tank away and left the closet cleaner than we found it.
