I am guessing it might be since you've included a video of the Myth Busters guys. They always seems to deal with things that could break in very significant ways. Now, I know what to look out for if my water heater starts to steam.<br /> <a href="http://www.mikemoore-plumbing.com/Services/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mikemoore-plumbing.com/Services/</a>Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404180898034770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-48336315936199998612015-04-16T13:20:05.473-07:002015-04-16T13:20:05.473-07:00My water heater just started leaking.

It's really good to know about how to safely inspect, remove and install a water heater. I've never had to do it before so maybe it's a good idea to hire someone. <a href="http://www.actionlincoln.com/services/heating_cooling.html" rel="nofollow"> http://www.actionlincoln.com/services/heating_cooling.html</a>Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404180898034770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-5061415573113006382013-12-17T03:47:26.408-08:002013-12-17T03:47:26.408-08:00Good post, This post clears myview about Furnace I...Good post, This post clears myview about Furnace Installation Rochester NYFurnace installation rochesterhttp://www.sparksmonroe.com/electrical.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-2675124415940549992013-12-13T07:27:05.941-08:002013-12-13T07:27:05.941-08:00Safety warning or way to get one's homeowner&#...Safety warning or way to get one's homeowner's insurance to pay for a total remodel?

We just saw the Mythbusters road show Last NIght and they had a water heater and discussed the episode and showed a clip but there were no explosions.<br />We went with an on demand gas/heater when we had to replace ours. It takes a looong time to get hot water. It is mounted outside. We should probably add more insulation to the pipes in the basement. <br /><br />I still worry about explosions. But I guess it wouldn't take out the WHOLE house.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-77604145867408615682013-12-11T11:26:27.467-08:002013-12-11T11:26:27.467-08:00Richard worries about these kinds of things.

Our tank died and leaked all over the floor and had to be replaced, but the replacement tank must have come from a very special place, because they could not get one for 3 days. No shower, no washing up for 3 days was horrible. A first world problem, but still -- take care of your water heater! And good safety advice in this post too.Laurrie Sostmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-18120895514031585302013-12-09T09:58:00.886-08:002013-12-09T09:58:00.886-08:00I'm going down to the basement and check …righ...I'm going down to the basement and check …right now !
