Water Heater Safety and Code Inspections

Inspection checklist

You receive photos and a written summary you can hand to a buyer, insurer, or property manager.

• Unit age, capacity, and manufacturer recalls
• Venting, draft, and combustion air on gas units
• T&P valve and discharge piping compliance
• Expansion tank presence, charge, and sizing
• Seismic and pan requirements
• Corrosion, connections, and shutoff condition

Common findings

Missing expansion tanks on closed systems, flex connectors in contact with sharp edges, T&P lines discharging upward, and vent connectors with insufficient rise are the four issues we correct most often.
