Default Hot Water Flooding Question

Goodmorning, Hope everyone is enjoying snow

Was home sick in bed and got an interesting call from 914 phone number which I believe is somewhere in NY. Gentleman stated he had a home inspection done on his townhome and a week or so later his hot water tank PRV let go and did $1500 dollars damage to his neighbouring property. He said his home inspector gave him the 800 number to insurance company who then told him they had a limit of $500 dollars. (Found this a little hard to believe). He wanted my thoughts on subject. There was apparently no visible rust, no leaks, everything seemed ok. I was too sick to think of asking for year of tank and whether there was floor drain etc.

Anybody else encounter anything like this. Later when I was feeling better I was wondering if it was some consumer group or similar that was doing random survey's etc. Why he would phone Canada is puzzling, etc for the expert knowledge that is

Why is Texas exporting so much snow?

Regards

Roger

I would think that the inspection and the leak had nothing to do with each other.
