No Hot Water

The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should check is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. 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 can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop 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 a few years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty could be caused by scale 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 is generally caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a few different issues. It could be caused by 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 could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 could be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen 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 good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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