GASOLINE smell in closet with electric hot water heater
We live in an apartment above the maintenance garage in our apartment complex and have had issues for the past few months with a gasoline smell coming from our walk-in closet (where the electric hot water heater is) and under both our kitchen and bathroom sinks. Maintenance for the complex has been here several times and even the fire department to check for any gas leaks though we didn't see how that would be possible since everything is electric. The problem is basically solved under the sinks due to caulking around the pipes, but caulking around the water heater is not working. We air the closet out and it smells better, but close the door and overnight the smell builds up again. What do we do? We figure it must be the maintenance garage w/ all of their equipment and such but they say they have never had this problem before. Please help!
