No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should check is the breaker box.

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy job and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty is likely due to hard water 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 likely is caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to a few different problems. It could be from 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 faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

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

Strange Noises

Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently 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. The majority of 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 recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
