Greetings all. Normally, if I'm going to be away from home for more than a few days, I'll shut off the water to the house at the main valve and set the gas water heater on vacation mode.
One time I came home and did discover an old copper pipe starting to leak and replaced it. That reinforced my shutting off the water to the house since.
But at what length of time away from home should one shut off the gas to the tank and drain the hot water tank?
Thank you in advance.
