    No hot water, water heater overflowing water
    Our water heater is not working today. I came down to find the top inlet joint was overflowing water to the floor. I turned the input water off which stopped the overflow. It does not appear that the pilot is on but before I try to reignite the pilot, why is the water overflowing? And are these two related to each other?
