Heater was over 20 years old - had checked it semi-regularly because my experience in the past had been that failures aren't catastrophic, but will begin with seepage around the bottom. Wasn't the case here, for sure.
Fortunately (and unfortunately) it is one of two, so we aren't without hot water. The unfortunate part is that I will now be replacing two, since the other is the same age, make, model, etc.
Will certainly consider tankless - since the heater is located in the attic and might be subjected to freezing temps, would it come with some sort of freeze-safe mechanism? I am building an addition to my lake cabin and am considering one for there as well, and since we don't heat the cabin when we aren't there, freezing would be a consideration (the existing tank is 40 gals and has never frozen in 15 years).
