No Hot Water

The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be from a few problems. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from the top of the water heater could be due to 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Noises

Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
