Please mail to: Kenton Shepard 1750 30th St. Boulder, CO 80301 Thanks! Leaking water heater gas valves.I am not an inspector but a contractor.
Am having an argument with A.O. smith Corp. about their water heater gas valves on their GCVL model water heaters. I recently installed this water heater for a customer who later complained of smelling l.p. gas. Upon inspection I finally found the gas valve leaking behind the plastic cover on the valve body. Subsequent and consecutive replacements of this model valve produced the same problem. The same leak in the same place. Three new gas valves later and finally, at the customer's request, an eventual different brand of water heater, A.O. Smith refuses to acknowledge their liability and I get nothing but corporate blow-off on trying to be reimbursed for nearly 7 hours of labor, travel and efforts remedying the problem. But that is another issue. The leak is very small and probably not threatening as it is, nevertheless it's enough to stink and not something a customer wants in a new water heater. Who can blame them? I'm guessing if there were four of them off from one shelf, there are probably 400 out there somewhere. The valve is a self diagnostic valve and the A. O. Smith # is 9007890005. I would like any information I can get from anyone who has run into or runs into this valve and finds a like problem. I've attempted to attach a photo of it but am not familiar enough with this site to do so apparently. Any help would be appreciated and I can be reached at : jeffraymond@live.com Thanks!

Then you eyeball the last 2 links,photos below....dumbazz. Yes, most and maybe all inside system owners, salespeople,installers etc either either friggin don't understand wtf they should OR maybe some get it but lie,misrepresent how and where the water most often is getting INTO the dang wall,basement and OBVIOUSLY do not fix it, don't repair it, do NOT actaully WATERPROOF the problem! Where are people's friggin BRAINS on this-subject man? Where do ya think that water is getting into the blocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You think somehow, magically that drilling holes in block walls and then installing interior systems really fixes these problems?!@#!??? NEGLIGENCE!!!!! This is self serving bulshhht aka fraud OR these inside system buttheads REALLY ARE......STOOOOOoooopid!!! It's one or the other. THIS is how,where water gets into many blocks walls.... http://picasaweb.google.com/10104903...03126118240418 Through exterior cracks, cracked parging,openings around service lines where they comes through the dang basement wall,openings in-around-under basement windows,doors etc etc......and NO interior system repiars ANY of these! It's impossible you knuckleheads!!!!!!!!!!!!](*,)](*,)](*,) Since inside system dorks do NOT find,locate,identify most peoples problems and of course do not fix,repiar them THEN......WATER is STILL getting INTO the BLOCKS!!!!! EYEBALL what can happen to exterior,interior blocks when YOU don't repair 'em... http://picasaweb.google.com/10104903...65133328086770 This is part of what attaching crap to inside wall will hide,conceal. http://picasaweb.google.com/10104903...04553850232530 And whatever garbage inside system company uses/places against part or all of the interior walls will also hide mold,efflorescence etc Would you let water etc continually pass-through, enter your roof? HUH?????????? Would you let water continually pass through,enter open mortar joints on the outside of yer dang house???????? Would you as home inspectors WRITE THIS UP on inspection reports? Some ask, why doesn't BubbaMilk-man talk to,write some in the media or buidling depts etc etc etc........i have!@#!@@##@!!@!!! lololol Fc , they don't GET IT or don't give a shtt!

Floridians learning about boilers?Hi, I am about to take the HVAC CE credits. But, I was wondering why we home inspectors in South Florida have to learn about boilers etc...heat systems used in northern climates? I had to take an ASHI course and so much was about things we don't even deal with. I see mostly concrete slab foundations with reinforced brick wall structures, too. Only thing is I''m sure I probably won't retain the information because I don't see northern issues on my home inspections. And I hate wasting time learning something I won't retain! Arg.:)
