No Hot Water

The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may require replacement. 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 might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria growth in the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a few 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 could be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 might be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacement.

Strange Sounds

Strange sounds 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 tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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