Standard tank type water heaters are hefty storage tanks which hold 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will stay piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, though they can have issues. These are some common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty might be caused by calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from a few different issues. 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 of the water heater may be due to 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
