So this place was made into a duplex and they forced a hot water heater into a small closet. Maybe I’m not understanding properly but why is there not a hot water Shutoff valve there? The hot water wasn’t shutting fully off on the tub, so the valve stem likely just needs to be replaced, not hard… quick cheap replacement usually… But when I went to shut off the hot water I found this.
Side note, I also found their was no exhaust vent for the dryer a couple years ago, we had to have someone cut a whole where the exhaust was ran, but just sat up against the exterior wall with no outlet. (Obviously a fire hazard). Shit happens, but am I wrong that a shut off valve should be there?
Care to explain more about the monoxide. Is that only if it is gas, or are you saying it could be an issue if electric as well?
Only if it’s gas. It’s a combustion byproduct.
Yeah there isn’t a pilot light in the closet, so it should be fully electric
Right… but if there’s a furnace in your unit that isn’t properly vented that’s your priority.
