Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they can have problems. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.

A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a few issues. It could be from 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 could be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
