No Hot Water

The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty could be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a number of problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater could be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacing.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
