No Hot Water

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

If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacement. 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 left unresolved, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty is likely caused by hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above 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 Issues

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

Strange Sounds

Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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