No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing one should check 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 need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty may be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a few 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 the top of the water heater might be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 might be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Sounds

Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently 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. The majority of noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
