What O’Fallon, IL homeowners

Our 2000 Cambridge home has a hot water tank approaching 25 years old. If it fails, what is the realistic scope?
Have a qualified plumber assess the tank and discuss maintenance or replacement based on its condition and manufacturer guidance. If it leaks, assess the affected rooms and materials before estimating restoration cost or salvage.
Our 1995 Thornbury Hills home has first-generation PEX. Should we plan to repipe?

Confirm building, belongings and liability coverage separately under the landlord’s and tenant’s policies and the lease. Gateway documents observed damage; responsibility and payment routing require review of the actual circumstances.
