People also ask
Older houses in this part of New York generally have the meter inside, on the basement wall where the service enters. Newer builds near Brutus are more likely to have a pit or a remote reader outside, which changes where a leak first shows.
Usually it's a rumble or popping while the burner runs, hot water that quits sooner than it used to, and shower heads that spray unevenly. Any of that is worth a look before it turns into a leak at the tank seam.
The main valve, the heater condition and the state of any exposed run are the three things worth having eyes on before a property sits cold. A heater full of sediment is a poor thing to leave unattended through a long freeze.
Colder supply water means a longer recovery for every draw. If sediment is already insulating the burner from the water above it, the difference gets hard to ignore.
