Water Heater Save

Disassembled upper cover

In this situation I had gotten a call for a leaking water heater.  Upon inspection I discovered the water heater had developed a pinhole sized leak due to internal rusting.  I advised the owner to replace the heater.  The owner asked for any other lower cost alternatives.  I told them I could remove the rusted metal and weld the tank.  The owner opted for the welding.  The welding was completed and as of  8/31/2012 (today) I have not gotten a call for the heater leaking.  I saved the owner the cost of a new water heater and installation. The owner was very happy with the outcome.
