Default floor protection

That would be ideal - the section of the floor that the tank stands on being
tile instead of the wood, but it's cost prohibitive as far as I'm concerned.
And then it ruins the floor, which is more important than the tank.

Thanks though Patrick

That would require damaging the wood floor in that area.

put in a tiled area under the tank and extending out a bit. there is no
100% way to prevent water damage to a wooden floor otherwise.


i meant replace the wooden floor with tile. the floor installer should do
this when the floor is built. if you already have the floor when you want
to install the tank, have a floor installer come in and remove the wooden
floor in that spot.

that would be the best looking and most safe option.
