Default What happens when the bucket fills up?

New construction. Water heater in a sealed compartment beneath the stairs, interior of the home.

Always unscrew those water heater panels!

P.S. Where's the drip pan?

Come on, everybody...let's all sing along...

follow the bouncing ball...

Splish splish, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door, and then I
Splish, splash... I jumped back in the bath.
Well how was I to know there was a party going on?

They was a-splishin' and a'splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin', movin' and a'groovin'
Rockin' and a'rollin', yeah

with thanks to Bobby Darin

Didn't mean to hi-jack the thread here Joe.

I see more issues other than that funny bucket, did you note other things?

Was that level in an occupied level or a basement, garage, etc.?
