Located in an exterior closet. Obviously the homeowner never thought to look in there every once in a while.

The unit was still in operation and supplying the house with hot water. The T&P valve was leaking which rotted the floor which..... well you can guess from there.

Hi Patrick,
that takes some believing, they are very lucky that the gas line did not rupture and blow the whole place apart.

Wow. A classic, absolutely. Thanks for posting that.
A few questions:
1) Do you also have a pic which shows the rotted flooring?
2) Just out of curiosity, any idea if the valve was defective, or if this was actually a malfunctioning over temp/pressure heater?
3) Can I get your permission to use that for client-education proposes?

Mike,
1. No I don't have a picture of the floor. I didn't want to be too close for too long.
2. I seemed as though the valve was faulty and just leaking water.
3. Yes, you may use it as you wish.
