Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually dependable, however they occasionally have issues. Below are some common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty may be due to hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria build up inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a few 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 of the water heater may be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Odd sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds 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 sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
