A homeowner at Suites @ Paya Lebar condo reached out to Homeone regarding a Rheem storage water heater that had stopped working properly. The customer initially requested assistance to assess whether the issue was fixable or required a full replacement.
As part of our responsive service process, we asked the homeowner to send over photos of the existing heater installation. Upon reviewing the photos, our team identified clear signs that the internal tank was compromised. Rust stains around the pipe joints and dripping water beneath the tank indicated that the unit was suffering from inner tank leakage—a classic symptom of a heater reaching the end of its lifespan. At this point, the unit was beyond repair.

The installed Rheem 65SVP10S heater had served for years and started leaking. Water marks indicated an inner tank leak, a common issue in older heaters. Although the overall setup was intact, the unit was clearly due for replacement due to age-related failure.
