No Hot Water

The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should check is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check 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 could eventually progress and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust is likely due to hard water 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 base of the tank might be caused by several different issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above 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 Problems

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 defective, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Noises

Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
