Great news Gracie. Prepare for the worst and pray for the best.....with no moisture problems it sounds like just plywood fatigue from the heavy water heater. As I said before, that water tank full is well over 500 pounds or more. The point load is high.

It appears that the framers should have supported it more....glad they righted a wrong.....could have been much worse. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us....
