Tank replacement with the California items handled: seismic strapping, drain pan, venting, and sizing for how the house is actually used now.
Replacement in Mission Viejo is a garage job with California rules attached: seismic strapping, a drain pan where the location can damage the home, and permit and venting details that changed since the original 1970s install. The sizing conversation has also changed since these tracts were built, because the three bedroom ranch that shipped with a 40 gallon tank now runs two showers, a soaking tub, and a laundry cycle at once. The written quote should separate the tank, the code items, and any venting work so the total can be compared line by line.
Replacement is scheduled work unless the tank has let go, in which case shutting the tank valve and the water at its base turns it back into scheduled work for the next day. The decision to plan for: a tank past 10 years with any body rust is a replacement on your schedule or on the tank's, and yours is cheaper.
