water heater leaking!

My water heater is leaking from the bottom today. There's a drop falling every second or two so its failure is probably imminent. I have called a plumber to come check it out this afternoon. I'd like to know what to expect or any diagnosis you might have. Bradford White Model MI403S6LN12 Capacity 40.0 gal Input 40,000 btu/hr. Natural Gas

Where in the referenced article does it say:

1) that the homeowner did the replacement, or 2) that the insurance company didn't cover the loss?

A seismic valve would be a lot safer -but no help at all if the lines outside fracture.

Actually it is a common occurrence in state like New York and California. If you insist on doing your own work...Go get a permit and have it inspected to cover your ass and to keep your family healthy. Use a little common sense for crists sake!
