All the water valve cutoffs for my sink faucets and toilets are frozen inside from calcification from non-use.

The same thing happened to the 6 year old water cutoff on my water heater that was leaking and the only way to cut off water to the tank was to shut off the main water to the house. Cutoff valves need to be used periodically so they don't lock up and with water heaters this is particularly important because there is a huge tank of water involved.

After I shut off the main water to the house, I cut the cold water pipe to the water heater and added a new valve. Not finished yet, but will install a new tank myself.
