No Hot Water

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

If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust might be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a few different problems. 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

Water leaking from above the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises 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 bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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