This is what a leaking gas fired hot water heater looks like in its initial stage.  If you listen carefully, you can hear the sizzle.

Don't judge a water heater or anything else by its outward appearance!

The moral of this story is, hire an inspector that's going to inspect your house, not just look at the outward appearances.

Give me a call

Think about this!

  The money spent on this inspection was a savings compared to the cost of replacing the water heater after moving in.
