No Hot Water

The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might 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 due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty might be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to a number of problems. It could be related to 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 the top of 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 a few 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 could be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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