No Hot Water

The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. 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 might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a number of issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Sounds

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

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