been in our (new) house for 7 years. We had Mike Scott plumbing come out for some faucet issues. While the tech was here, I asked him about the water heater. Told him that I tried to drain the tank over the years, but not able to as the drain seemed blocked. I asked if I should poke something in to break up any mineral deposits etc etc. He strongly said "NO!" Do not touch anything, as that could disturb the lower area of the tank and cause failure. At this point better to not do a thing... Ours is in the garage storage area. He said WH typically last 10-15 years, so no worries. And we have a whole-home water filter, so less minerals etc going to the fill of our WH. That was all very comforting.
