Why Valrico Garages Need Pans
Most local heaters sit directly on garage slabs. When they leak, water spreads under stored belongings, into drywall, and toward the home's interior — and Florida humidity slows drying, inviting mold. A pan catches the leak at the source and a drain line carries it outside where it belongs.
What a Proper Install Includes
The right pan diameter for your tank, a drain fitting that won't clog, piping sloped to drain completely, and termination where discharge is visible (so you notice a leak) but harmless. A pan with no drain — or a drain that terminates indoors — is barely better than nothing.
Best Paired With Replacement
Installing a pan under an existing heater requires lifting the full tank — very doable, but the smartest time is during a replacement when the tank is already out. Ask about bundling; it's the cheapest flood insurance you'll ever buy.
