No Hot Water

The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from calcification 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 likely caused from bacteria build up in the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by a few different issues. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 caused by 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 may be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

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