No Hot Water

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

If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at 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 unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty might be due to 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 usually caused from bacteria growth in the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few different problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

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

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

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