A water heater will survive an average of about seven years. When it fails, it will leak nonstop, pouring out water and refilling itself in a disastrous cycle. Because a homeowner does not often look at their water heater, this problem can persist and worsen for weeks before they notice, and literally inches of water can build up in the basement or crawl space in very little time. Hot water heater failure
can be a destructive and expensive problem! Along with hot water heaters, storage tanks for cold water and cold water pipes can also create a problem in basement or crawl space. As warm summer air touches the cold surface, condensation will form continuously, dripping water on to the basement or crawl space floor.
Basement System's FloodRing offers a practical solution to this problem. Now also available through Total Basement Finishing, this unique semicircle of inorganic can be easily installed without interfering with the well tank or water heater. If your water heater fails and leaks or condensation begins to drop off your cold water storage tank or pipes, the FloodRing will direct this water away from the basement area and into your basement waterproofing system or other available drain.
