Maybe, but have you seen the price tags on some of those replacements? My wallet gets nervous just looking. I just stuck a little painter’s tape over ...
Yeah, I totally get what you mean about hidden water. Been there—once had a “dry” wall that turned into a science experiment a few months later. Mold...
Had a “plumbed” drain pan when my old tank started leaking... thought I was clever. Joke’s on me—the water still found its way under the drywall. Ende...
