Ever check the pressure relief valve pipe? That little pipe on the side. It should point straight down and end a few inches from the floor, not just aim at the wall. I saw one that was piped up and over, dripping rusty water right down the drywall. Also, make sure the flue pipe is sealed up tight where it connects. You can get a nasty draft of fumes otherwise.

Heard my cousin got talked into a "future planning session" at a place like that. Said the guy was super nice but the fees he found later were NOT. Felt like they sold the vibe first, the details second.

Wait, you tried to fix it with the water still on?

Come on, it's just a few screws. How bad can it really be? I've opened up a few things before and it's mostly just plastic clips and ribbon cables. The scary metal bits are usually tucked away where you won't touch them. People make it sound like you're defusing a bomb.

Leaving out detail feels weird but getting read is the whole point.
