No Hot Water

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

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could 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 could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria build up in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to several different problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater may 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 several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Sounds

Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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