Today I saw an electric water heater that had wet insulation covering both the upper and lower thermostat controls. The water had been off for over a year, and it was turned on just for the inspection this morning. Only the bottom portion of the insulation on both upper and lower was wet. The "plumber" who I doubt had a license, that the realtor used to dewinterize the house said it was nothing to be concerned with. Water around electric controls. Just doesn't seem right to me. Need to get this written up, not sure if it's even something that needs or how to explain it. Has anyone else seen/heard of this?
