Whether your water heater is installed inside of your home or in a garage set at the same level, Florida plumbing code requires flood prevention.This is done by installing the water heater in a pan and piping the discharge out of the home.
If it is not possible to pipe the discharge outside, a flood stop system can be installed.
The picture shows a sensor in the pan that is wired to the water inlet of the water heater. If water is detected in the pan, the inlet will automatically shut off and prevent a flood.
