For exactly this reason. I've known several people who've had this issue. It's only a matter of time with a water heater tank that it will rust out and cause a flood. It's one of the only appliances in the house where it's a good idea to replace before it actually dies.

Our plumber says that he recommends that you crawl under it with a flashlight at least once a year to inspect it and make sure there are no visible signs of rust or corrosion.
