Our 40 gallon hot water tank ruptured at the seam in the next room over. ...Good thing we were leasing the tank as they came in that day and had us back in business by the next.Ironic, last year, New Years Day, our hot water heater also ruptured. Luckily, as we live in a moderate climate, our hot water heater resides in an outdoor closet. Most of the water just ran out the door onto the concrete porch. I did have some cleanup though as I did not want it to ruin the sheetrock inside the closet... it did. Then we're thinking, New Years day and our water heater goes out. Great. How long is this gonna take to get fixed. Good old Sears was at our house in an hour and a half with a new one and had it installed in half an hour. NOT what I would have expected.
