Standard tank type water heaters are large holding tanks which contain from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, though they can have problems. These are some common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple job and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty could be due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria which has amassed in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a few different issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater might be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and usually have a longer life, but are more expensive up front. They need a lot less space and don't run out of hot water, but initially can need some extra accessories and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a common heating system, and may require the installation of wider diameter gas pipes. You will also need to make sure that your existing water lines can support a tankless heater.
One of the most common complaints in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be due to a variety of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a clogged pipe, or frozen pipe.
Mineral build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
Most tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that puts out an error code when there is a problem. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may display.
