Who has had a water heater leak before?

Who has had major damage as a result of a water heater leaking?
(thankfully, not raising my hand)
Most of us have water heaters tucked away in a closet or the corner of the basement. As a result, if they start to leak (they often will as they get older) it could be hours or days before you realize you have a problem. In that time, the leak may have caused water damage to your floors or personal belongings.
Do you have a sump pump in your basement? What would get wet if it stopped working? How often do you check to see if your sump pump is working properly?
