No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. 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 left untreated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated process and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust is likely 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 generally caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by a few problems. 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 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacement.

Strange Noises

Odd sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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