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.
Did warranty agee the developer will make good and reimburse you for this ? Sounds like inferior quality - simply built not strong enough, no water damage. How many more of these are out there in 50000 homes ?
