Water Heater Flood Protection in Oklahoma City
Water damage is one of the top insurance claims for homeowners. However, obvious causes like broken pipes or damaged foundations may not always be the culprit for flooding. Your home's water heater can fail and create severe water damage before you recognize where the source of the water is.
Water Heater Flooding
Problems with your water heater are hard to identify because the problem lies within the appliance's interior. Depending on what's wrong, you may experience a small leak or a complete rupture causing gallons of water to pour out. In either case, your water heater refills itself automatically, so the water damage will continue until it's repaired. The most obvious sign that your water heater is the source of the flooding is experiencing a wet basement floor in tandem with no hot water. These are warning signs that your water heater may burst:
- Leaking pressure valve
- Brown water
- Foul odor
