No Hot Water

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

If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly easy job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty is likely 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 generally is caused from bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a number of problems. It could be related to 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 above the water heater may be due to 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Noises

Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place 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 sounds are nothing serious, 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 sediment in your pipes or faucets.
