No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you 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 critical things to look at 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 eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that 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 base of the tank might be caused by a few different problems. 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 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 may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.

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 bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
