if a tank flood can do damage i would opt for replacement

First thing I'd check is if it's installed correctly. The only way I
can think of for air to remain trapped for long in a water heater would
be if the cold and hot lines going into it were reversed. Otherwise,
air goes to the top and should exit the system quickly when you draw
water.

And even if he didn't get a warranty on the home, there surely still a
warranty on a 2003 WH.
