The basement where the hot water heater is situated flooded covering the area where the pilot light si lit. The heater has a button to push to relight the pilot light and a dial to set to Pilot when relighting. It has been about four hours since the water level has lowered to below the pilot light. My question is this: Is it too soon to relight the light? It hasnt lit and I am trying to avoid hiring someone to fix this problem. Is it wet still, might it be lit and Im missing something? The water has not been even a little warm since trying to relight it. Thanks. Kevin
