Standard tank type water heaters are hefty storage tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. Below are some common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker 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 key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust could be 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 likely caused from bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be from a few issues. 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 above the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
