Hello,
Your article about water heater code violations missed a very important code requirement for those of us in California. The water heater must be strapped to the wall. This is enforced.

Hi pestocat,
Thanks for the heads up. We did get a lot of feedback about that from folks in seismic zones. I'll mention it to our editors and see if they want to include a note about it in a future issue of the magazine. I'll also see about adding that info to the online version of the article: https://www.finehomebuilding.com/2019/11/05/top-10-water-heater-code-violations
Thanks again,
Rob Wotzak
