Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will stay piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they occasionally have issues. Below are some frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty is likely caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria which has amassed in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a number of issues. It could be caused by 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 of the water heater may be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are several 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 may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
