All system components operating within normal parameters.

Responded to no hot water call involving indirect water heater system. Upon inspection, discovered significant corrosion and rust buildup on system components with evidence of active leaking. Circulator pump assembly showed moisture intrusion with brownish-orange fluid accumulation in base pan, indicating internal system contamination or corrosion byproduct. Assessed condition of pump, zone valves, and associated plumbing connections. Documented extensive rust damage on metal surfaces and mineral scale deposits suggesting prolonged water exposure. System requires component replacement and further evaluation to restore hot water functionality.

Conducted on-site evaluation for installation of customer-supplied mini split system at a two-story commercial building with metal siding.
