Water heater expansion tank exploded on me. Unfortunately, the builders cheaped out (as they do) and didn't put a pressure regulator on the inflow from the city water. Over the course of a few years it slowly weakened the expansion tank and if finally blew. Thankfully I noticed it within seconds since I was brushing my son's teeth and the water pressure dropped immediately. There were a couple inches of standing water in the basement which caused a decent amount of damage to some semi-valuable items. Nothing that broke my heart though.

So my advice:

  1. Get air conditioning and dehumidification set up down there before storing anything.
  2. Finish the basement as you standardly would.
  3. NEVER store anything on the ground. I'd recommend keeping everything at least 6-12 inches above ground.
  4. Get a water sensor/leak alarm

Looking forward to seeing the project!
