If the hot water tank is off it is possible. It is also possible for the cold water going to the hot water tank to freeze. Insulate all pipes that are exposed - or let them drip (this is more expensive!)
James Bothwell Water Tank House was created in 1926.
a small tank to hold extra water from the radiator. A hose links the two together
At the radiator or overflow tank. Do not add water, add coolant.
The only reason for "tank sweating" is temperature/moisture differential. The water in the tank is colder causing "contact condensation" in the air surrounding the tank. The primary reason is high moisture content in the "ambient" air. Plainly put....You should purchase a decent dehumidifier to rid the basement of the damaging moisture. Thank your luck stars that the tank is your "barometer" and not the mold factor!!!!!!!! MOLD is next!!!!!!!!! Y-THINK-Y This happens when the water in the tank is much cooler than the room temperature. Some people get water heaters to heat the water going to the toilet, others get tank covers. You can get them at places like JCPenney or other bath supply stores. Simply wash the tank cover regularily so it doesn't cause a mildew problem.
