My 2 water heaters are sitting in a 3x5' closet in the garage, on a sheet of OSB that is the raised "floor". The closet is drywalled from the inside as well, and there are tons of gaps all around, so in case a leak happens outside of a drain pan, or if drain pans overflow, all the water would go straight into the house, which is obviously not great. I'd much rather have it go over the closet door threshold into the garage, where it will do a lot less damage, and can be reasonably contained. I'm about to replace both heaters, so this is probably the best time to do anything about it. What's my best bet to make the area at least somewhat water-resistant?
I'm ok with going a little overboard for an extra peace of mind. Or should I just caulk the perimeter and call it a day?
