Defect: Draft hood missing on the water heater. Additionally, there is a connection
of copper piping to steel water heater fittings which can lead to galvanic corrosion.
There is no pipe leading from the TPR (temperature pressure relief) valve. TPR
pipes should extend to within 6" of the floor to guard against scalding. Recommened
evaluation and repair by a licensed and insured plumber.
