Angry Water Damage

I had a similar problem with water on my lanai. The installing plumber said it was not a leak and must be ground water. A significant amount of money later and two holes in my walls, the issue was a poor PVC joint, water was barely seeping.

Has anyone else had the same issue?

My house is a 2007 designer cypress The tank is on a wooden box at the back of the garage in plain sight.

State Select gas water heater with a expansion tank on the top

Possibly leak from a rusting tray?

Any advise about repairing this?

Approach the gas utility?
