If you found rocks and debris in your water heater then that's a sign you need to get a whole house water filtration system put in. Plus, with a filtration system, your skin and hair will start feeling better and you won't have to use moisturizer so much anymore to keep your skin from becoming ashy. So when you take the time to replace your water heater, you should factor in the added cost for a water filtration system with it. Also this filtration system will prevent what you're experiencing now with your water heater. And I'd recommend you also include a UV light filter with your water filtration system to kill off viruses and bacteria in your water, as well.

It’s against code to have that (or anything) under the water heater (fire hazard). When I had my new water heater put in, I asked the guys to call me so I could lay down drycore subfloor under before they put in the new heater, and they told me it was against code. So :/ Hopefully yours doesn’t cause you problems. (Plus mine was gas, not sure if same applies to electric if your is electric)

You should’ve changed out that plastic boiler drain on the water heater with a brass nipple and a female threaded ball valve with a brass male iron pipe (MIP) threaded x garden hose threaded adapter out the end so next time you have to drain it you have a full 3/4” opening for the water to drain out instead of a small 1/4” opening for the sediment in the water heater tank to clog up as it’s draining. Just turn the water off and leave the T&P valve closed and all faucets turned off to create and air lock and when you remove the plastic boiler drain very little water will come out and you can have your new valve already made up to go in. Little trick is to turn the new ball valve off and remove the handle so it doesn’t get in the way as you’re installing it. You can replace the handle once it is fully installed into the tank. This will make it where your water heater can be flushed easily yearly you prolong the life of it and be drained quickly if needed.

As a person who installed floor there is an easier way to cut the tile along the wall, especially since there's no direction of the tile. Simply flip it over on it's back, push up to the wall, then the other end overlays the tile already on the floor. Mark on both ends (right and left edges), draw a line, cut. Flip back over and install. But both work, one is just faster.

I installed carpet for nearly 30 years. It was fun watching someone else do a floor for a change. Nice work. Pro tip- when you are sizing your edge pieces you can just flip them (end over end, not side to side), put them against the wall and mark them with your utility knife adjacent to the same spot you measured from, on the inside of the squiggly bit. No need for the tape measure or pen/marker. It just goes a bit quicker if you fiddle with less tools.

To anyone reading, as a quicker way to measure the outer tiles to the wall, you can flip them upside down (flip towards you, not sideways), push up to the wall, and then mark where they overlap the other tiles. Then when flipped back over, they'll fit perfectly. Similar method used to measure laminate flooring edges! Try it! 😁👍

I never knew you needed to drain yearly. My hot water heater is 30 years old and all I’ve ever done is replace heating element once.

@@lorihamlin3604older hot water heaters were built better. Now, they tell you to not empty them and just get a new one every 5 yrs! Baloney!! Empty them and put in new rods. Should last a lot longer. This is just my opinion. I’m not a plumber. Everything is made so cheap, these days!

Wow, the entire garage looks pretty good with what you have done. You did an excellent job explaining the whole process. I've been debating on painting our garage floor but not sure if I will have pealing issues down the road, as I always say; "nothing is as simple as it first appears"! So now this has been an inspiring second look at what to do with our garage floor!

For the water heater. I have one at home and I randomly found out through KZfaq that you need to drain them every year or so, because if you have hard water you’ll have precipitate at the bottom, and it will shorten the life of your heater and lower the efficiency of it too. When I cleaned mine there was A LOT of precipitate ! So I’ll be cleaning my heater every spring from now on ! Cool video btw, I didn’t plan on installing tile… but now I want to !

When you drain a water heater you need to introduce air. Open the relief valve or disconnect hot or cold.

@jeremycarr2712 2 жыл бұрын

I was getting ready to post the same thing, but an even simpler solution is to just open up any faucet in your home. If you are able to isolate and cut the water off right at the heater supply side itself then you have to open your faucet to the full hot position. If you cut the water off at the main valve to the house then hot or cold, doesnt matter. The white calcium chunks are completely normal. They build up as a result of hardwater/sediment. Flushing your tank once a year is recommended to give your tank as long of a life as possible.

@@Budhah1 I totally agree with you on the relief valve being a poor choice. I actually didn't put that as an option in my comment to the OP, but can see where I caused confusion when I said, "I was getting ready to post the same thing." What I was refering to was just allowing for a path so the air could enter the unit allowing the water to drain. My bad for the confusion, and yes you are 100% correct regarding the relief valve not resealing properly.

@@donaldnelson9224 Leaving the supply line turned on at first can help push the deposits out of the bottom of the tank. As he discovered if it's totally plugged, blowing air backwards through the valve can get it flowing.

To fix the water heater clog, you can hook up your hose to your washing machine water faucet or outside faucet and backfill the water. You obviously don't want to do it for long, but it accomplishes the same thing you did with your air compressor without having water leak out. It worked great when I had the same problem.
