Even when house water turned off why will water still drain from the hot water tank?
Reason for question: Plumber left valve open and flooded house
The hot water (heater) tank is fed from a 'header tank'; normally in the loft space but can be combined with the main heater tank (fortic). The header is filled from the water main. Unless the header is drained or its outlet is closed off, it will drain down through the open valve of the hot water (heater) tank.
