One thing I was thinking of was installing a tankless heater on the hot water line coming out of my current tank. Also, I don't like the idea of heating a 70 to 80 gallon tank. I live in Michigan and depending on the season will need a 50 to 65 degree increase in temperature. The rate decreases to about 6 or 7 gpm to get a 65 degree F rise in temperature. However that is at only a 35 degree F rise in temperature. The highest rate I could find online is for a 11 gpm tankless unit. So a 50 gallon tank may fill the tub but would not give me warm water to rinse with afterwards. I don't know the exact capacity of the tub but it is right around 50 gallons. I do not want to sit in the tub waiting for it to take 10 minutes to fill. in my case it is the rate as well as capacity that matters. I do have a natural gas water heater currently that is about 10 years old. The tub has air jets to massage sore muscles and that cycle is 20 minutes maximum. I was trying to keep my post short but now feel that I should add more to it. Should I call an window expert? What about brick repointing professional? Who else can be called upon? I read this: and find it helpful. Still I am looking for what type of experts or what companies to call to further determine the root cause. The silicone seal for the most part is intact, while we can certainly replenish the seal, I do not think that is the root cause of the water intrusion.
I think this and the weep hole being ineffective are more convincing.
SEPTIC ALARM GOES OFF DURING HEAVY RAIN WINDOWS
His view is the water would have come form the 2nd level from the gap between brick and framing and find a weak point in the windows of 1st floor and entered the house. One in particular believed it has to do with gutter - whether they are sloped right, if one more down sprout is needed, and a portion of facia is loose. One pointed out the weep holes are all clogged up. Most contractors look at the silicone seal around windows and flashing for loose gaps. I have called in 3 roofers, 2 G.Cs to advise the cost of repair and remedy and till now I am still uncertain about what caused this and who to call to get a definitive understanding of the root cause. The exterior door in between the windows had water entering the wall and you can see stains around the door still.
During Irma, my first floor's windows (north facing) about 8' on each side were leaking rainwater from the top of the window, similar to the manner of leaking in the video by Ada Lam above.
