No Hot Water

The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing one should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. 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 left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty may be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused from bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few problems. It could be caused by 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 above the water heater might be from 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 may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacing.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
