No Hot Water

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

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust may be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a few problems. 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 could be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Noises

Odd noises from your 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. 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 have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
