No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacing. On a gas water heater, the important things to check 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 unresolved, corrosion can progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated process and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust may be caused by calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria build up inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a few different 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 the top of the water heater may be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Sounds

Odd 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 tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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