No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker 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 key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty is likely caused from calcification 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 usually caused from bacteria build up in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

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

Pilot Light Problems

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

Strange Noises

Weird sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
