Leave the water turned on to the hot water heater and hook up a garden hose to the drain cock on the water heater and open the drain and see if it will blow the sediment out of the water heater, if it does open a path for water to flow drain the water heater and remove the bottom heating element and take a wet vac and tape a piece of 3/4 inch copper or pex tube to the vacume hose and you will be able to remove most of the sediment from the heater
