You get sludge in the hot water heater if you turn off the water and drain it. That's one of the reasons you have someone watch your home. The bigger reason is that insurance companies are now denying coverage if a home is vacant for more than 30 days and someone doesn't come in WEEKLY to check it (and you can prove they are checking it -- emails work, supposedly).
