No Hot Water

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

If the circuit breaker is fine 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, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion can cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust might 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 likely is caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few different issues. It could be caused by 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 might be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Sounds

Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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