No Hot Water

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

If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria growth in the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be from a few problems. It could be caused by 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 due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you experience a recent drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
