Oh man you guys won't believe this.
So Thursday my water heater catches fire. I didn't go in to work on Friday so I could replace it, which wasn't hard once I actually got the new heater to my house and tore out the old one & sweated some new copper.
Last night my wife finished taking a bath and let the water out of the tub... I was napping on the couch. She got dressed and I got up.... What's this water on the living room carpet???
Oh shit the kitchen floor is covered in water and I can see it moving!
I ran to the utility room thinking I had a broken pipe or something, but no, there was water coming out of the floor drain. Time to make a mad scramble out to the workshop for the shop-vac.
So it had nothing to do with my water heater installation - the main sewer line to the street was clogged.
$300 later, it is free of TREE ROOTS.
WTF. I need a break or something.
