Defect: Water heater (type details, location). Base of water heater has major
corrosion damage possibly from a damp/wet location in (basement) or leaking water
vessel. Current condition of water heater indicates further problems in this
location of home. Water heater lifespan is reduced and should be monitored for
further deterioration. The remaining lifespan cannot be determined but conditions
such as this diminish manufacturer's lifespan ratings.
