No Hot Water

The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. 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 might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water can 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. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to several different issues. It could be related to 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 might be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

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

Strange Sounds

Weird sounds from your hot 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 be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
