No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. 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 can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty might be caused from scale 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 in the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a few different issues. It could be from 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 the top of 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 a few 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 could be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Noises

Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently take place 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. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a recent drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
