The price is way too high. This is an easy DIY or handyman project. No need for a plumber. Also, the Rheem manual does not recommend flushing out a hot water tank. If it is a Rheem, read your manual.

Note that I recently had Mike Scott Plumbing provide and install a new garbage disposal for $240, total price for materials and labor. The Home Depot price for the disposal alone was $117.
