Garage Flooding — Called 10:17pm, Arrived 11:05pm
Homeowner called after water started pooling across the garage floor. She had already shut the main valve off. The source was not immediately obvious.
A supply line fitting at the base of the water heater had failed. The unit was 11 years old. The fitting had corroded — common in Everett homes where the Spada Lake water mineral content accelerates corrosion on older fittings.
Replaced the failed fitting and pressure tested the connection. The water heater tank itself was still structurally sound. Did not push a replacement she did not need that night.
