Last week while on an outing I discovered the floor beside my side of bed was sopping wet. Upon investigation I found a cracked bypass valve on water heater. Shut water of tillgot home and soaked up water with towels. Installed new bypass kit and was done. WRONG. While under TT checking grounds my underbelly plastic looked a little baggy. I started probing with moisture meter. Oh what I found. That leaky valve had sent water down the gas line hole into my under belly and the water followed the floor beam all the way to the other side soaking the fiberglass insulation as it went. I didn't want to do it but I cut the belly membrane open to find water laying every where, it just ran out. If it hadn't been for the meter I would not have known every thing was so wet And soon rot would have set in.
I did order a roll of Flex-Mend, Under belly repair tape.
Not sure yet whether to try and dry out fiberglass or replace.
PS. Puddles of water dripping from insulatio are forming under TT .
