Standard tank style water heaters are hefty storage tanks which contain 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, though they occasionally have problems. Below are a few common problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion can cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused by calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a number of issues. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater may be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
