No Hot Water

The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. 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 can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria build up inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by several different issues. It could be related to 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 above the water heater might be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 may be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
