No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you 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 need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust may be caused from 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 likely caused by bacteria build up inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a few different issues. It could be from 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 may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

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

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
