Isn't carpet a combustible material? I recommended that a non combustible material be underneath heater.

Clothes absorb water pretty well too. Besides the the clothes too close to the tank there was no drain tube or dripleg and the flue had holes in it.

On slabs it is common to put carpeting under hot water tanks and furnaces to pass the Rescheck!
