Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they occasionally have problems. Below are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust is likely due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a number of 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 of the water heater might be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few 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 might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Odd noises 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 water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
