No Hot Water

The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust 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 generally is 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 different problems. It could be from 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 could be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Noises

Weird sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place 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 noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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

Common Tankless Water Heater Issues
