No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check 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 left untreated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty is likely due to scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

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

Strange Sounds

Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen 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 sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
