Standard tank models of water heaters are large storage tanks which store from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. These are a few frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria build up inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to a few issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater may be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen 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 benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
