The shelf is now well supported. The framer opened the drywall and used wood on top and bottom with added support braces.

Henry said the tank was easy to move once the water was out. It was the weight of the combined very heavy water heater and the HVAC that caused the shelf to sag. No water damage.

If you have a similar problem, first call warranty.
