No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial 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 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 caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated 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 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 is generally caused by bacteria build up inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be from a few problems. 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 above the water heater may be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Noises

Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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