Dent in water heater

[lfoster]

This water heater was dented at the top edge.
How big are the dents before they cause concern about disrupting the internal workings?

That dent appears to mostly effect the insulation and jacket. Unless it was leaking, I would likely just mention it, so the client would know I saw it, and advse watching it. If the concern is greater, an examination by a plumber could be suggested.

Yea, I wouldn't be too worried about this dent either if it's not leaking.

I'd simply note the dent and move on.
