Picture?
 

Would anyone happen to have a pre drywall picture of what is contained in the area under your Water Heater Tank? Looking for one that the Furnace and Water tank are in the utility closet in the garage on a Designer Home. Thanks

It's the ductwork for your HVAC system

No picture, but same here.

Nothing under the hot water heater for me.

sorry you said the same you have ducts or nothing under there?

assuming you are asking me

i have ducts under the hvac as well, but i have nothing under the hot water heater side.

There are also 1 or 2 drain lines, one for the HVAC and one for the water heater drain pan, these MIGHT be connected together. I have pictures of our house under construction, I will need to look an see if one shows this area.

I spent 15 minutes looking..................I can't find a single picture of the construction. :shocked:

ok thanks yes I am just concerned about the hot water side. Thanks for the response.

thanks for looking

I found a construction photo, showing the duct work in this area. Hope this answers your question, home is a 2013 vintage Designer Gardenia

Thanks
 

Thank you all for your responses.

we have a furnace??

Our water heater was mounted outside/beside the a/c closet and had nothing under it, with the exception of some plumbing lines in the wall. I cut an access into the drywall, fashioned a "door" from a piece of plywood and now store paint underneath. It's cool and dry.

This is a Mossy Oak built in 2021. Air Handler on the right. Water Heater on the left

Empty space under our furnace/water platform.
 

We had an interior flood and had to open the walls, there was nothing underneath the platform in the garage

My home is a 2006 Gardenia. My water heater was on a platform box.
We changed to a tankless water heater that is on the outside wall. When we removed the water heater we removed the box. Nothing there.
You might have to drill a hole and take a look inside yours.
