50 gallon rheem wh. Replace soon?
utility room roof leaked for years, leaving the slab wet, with the w.h sitting directly on the slab.
roof is fixed, but slab still has a damp spot next to the back of the w.h.
see picture.
upper right of photo is dry slab.
looking at the rust , do you think it rusted into the reservoir?
I'm regretting that the installers put this wh directly on the ground like this.
do modern water heaters have built-in legs?
and if not, can the wh jacket bear the load sitting on bricks spaced around the bottom?
