No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one 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 could 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

Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused from 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 generally is caused from bacteria build up inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be from a few different problems. It could be from 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 above the water heater might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacing.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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