After a lightning strike, this homeowner’s tankless water heater stopped working, leaving them without reliable hot water.
As we removed the damaged unit and performed a thorough inspection, we discovered the damage extended beyond the water heater itself. The hot and cold water lines running inside the wall and into the attic had been charred by the electrical surge, requiring replacement to ensure the system was safe and reliable.
