No Hot Water

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

If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. 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 this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth in the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to a few issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater may be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Noises

Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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