I noticed the basement floor was a bit soft, further investigation revealed the mess shown in the photo.
Removed all of the floor except that which is under the HW heater and plumbing stack. Anybody help me of how to remove these? Just enough to get the old floor out. I didn't even know the upper water heater fitting was cracked and the water was running under the floor. Couldn't even see anything until the wall was removed, then the leak was apparent. This system badly needs a simple drain pan under the HW heater and you can bet I'm putting one in. The crappy way this is built, the water just collects under the floor until the wood gets saturated and falls apart. This is a three year old Grand Canyon and most of it's life it's been dry and not connected so this is indicative of construction materials quality, which ain't very good.
Getting there but the framework was rotten too so I've removed that except for that which is under the HWH. Looks like the thing was built before the final assembly so it'll have to be built in-place in sections.
