No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should check 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 require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy procedure and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely 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 caused by a number of problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacing.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom 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.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
