No Hot Water

The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated process and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty might be caused by 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 is generally caused from bacteria growth in the water heater tank.

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 may be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a recent drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
