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.

If the hot water heater blows you are gonna have a much bigger bill than “well over 2k” I just spent nearly 2k on a moving company. You can replace a goddamn water heater.
Every plumber and every comment in this thread is telling you one thing.
Don’t flush it replace it.
Your unwillingness to do so and getting hung up on quotes and talking about the market makes me think you’re landlord scum. If you are then definitely replace it because your tenants will sue you on top of repair costs. Rent isn’t cheap if we can pay 4 grand a month we can get a lawyer.
