Finding a small stream running from the water heater to the floor drain was not a pleasant surprise, especially when it's Monday morning and I was trying to get to work somewhat on time.
I've called the plumber and he says he'll be here within a half hour. This is for an estimate, not an actual install. More news as it develops.
