Greetings and salutations welcome back to knockback. My name is Colin Moriarty

I'm joined as always by my brother Dagen bone saw Moriarty Dagen

Thank you for joining me today. How are you?

I

Wish I had like I should have made a little paper mache cardboard saw with the foil on it and everything that would seem like it would have been a lot of work

I know too much work. Yeah, too easy for that. But how's life? How's everything going?

Everything's good. I'm having a very exciting week. I wanted to talk to you about this as a fellow homeowner now

You appreciate this I think so

I'm playing a bit of Russian roulette this week with the hot water heater. Oh

Now what do you know? I don't know how much you know about hot water heaters, okay?

But apparently nothing has changed in like a hundred years like when these things go

It's catastrophic. It's like no other appliance. I actually don't understand why they make them like this

So when a hot water heater is ready to expire, which is usually around a decade, I guess right decades worth of constant use

It doesn't just stop working apparently. It just

Explodes all over the house. Well, hopefully hopefully in your basement

Hopefully in your unfinished basement. So there's no other appliance or household device

That's designed to

Take the rest of the house with it when it goes. It doesn't make any sense

It makes no so you basically have to if you want to avoid any kind of fallout

You have to sort of anticipate and replace it

Before that happens and I'm not even sure. I'm sure we have plenty of plumbers out there. They could speak better to this
