plumber: “your hot water tank is too old to flush” (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Has anyone encountered this? I didn’t talk directly to the plumber but was told they will not flush a 30+ year old tank. I wonder if the plumber is concerned that it’s so fragile that flushing would cause leaks.

Even if it was meticulously maintained I wouldn’t touch a thirty year old hot water tank.

At that point it’s a simple straightforward replace.
