No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the fuse box is not an issue 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 left untreated, corrosion can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty is likely due to calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to a few different problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater could be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

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