No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check 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 could eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused by calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by several different issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 may be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your hot 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 water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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