No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty is likely due to scale 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 generally is caused by bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by several different issues. It could be related to 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 the top of the water heater might be from 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 might be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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