No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty might be due to hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

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

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a number of problems. It could be from 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 might 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 might be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Noises

Odd sounds from your 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 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 sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
