We got a foot of water in our basement yesterday (central PA) because the hose to the sump pump had slipped off. Furnace is fine, but water heater won't light. An HVAC-trained friend said "it" might just need to dry out (I got this information secondhand). He can come over later on today to look at it; in the meantime I called the gas company, who put us on the list (they're swamped today). They said they can even fix it and bill us. Question: how long does it take for "it" (whatever that is) to dry?
