Water Heaters Must Be Secure Before Transferring Ownership
As part of a real estate transaction, most state laws require that water heaters are braced against a wall.
This helps to ensure the water heater will not topple in earthquakes, and thus harm people or break gas lines and cause a fire. Complying with water heater bracing requirements is inexpensive and is typically the seller's responsibility.
