No Hot Water

The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. 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 due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty might be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a few 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 might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are a few 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 might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

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