No Hot Water

The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should check is the fuse box.

If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated process and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be from several different 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 the top of the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.

Strange Sounds

Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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