Hello,
I recently had a plumber install a new hotwater tank in our home. After awhile I began to notice that there was a little water outside where the pressure release valve is plumbed. I have had the tank for about a month. Last week I called the plumber and he believed it was a faulty valve and replaced the pressure release valve. I still notice water outside. The water is not a constant drip but rather comes in sporadic spurts. I'm kind of at a loss here. I know the plumber will not be happy to come back again. I wouldn't mind fixing it myself, but I have no idea what is wrong. I did happen to notice that it typically makes a popping sound before it disburses the water out. It's not a lot of water, maybe a few tablespoons, but it happens several times a day.
Any suggestions would be appreaciated.
Thanks,
