Hello,
Get a stiff, but soft brush and brush the carbon off the pilot stem.
The condensation from the water may be making the carbon soggy.
You need to keep all pilots clean from carbon build-up.

I am hoping to get some information about a problem I am having with my hot
water heater.

About a week ago we got some water in the basement, and ever since then, the
pilot on my hot water heater goes out every few days.

I have no problems re-lighting it, and it heats the water to the proper
temperature. I didn't know if water can damage the pilot to where it would
need to be replaced, or maybe it's just dirty and needs to be replaced.....

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
