No Hot Water

The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check 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 result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust could be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

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

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a number of problems. It could be related to 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 the top of the water heater could be caused by 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

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 lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, 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 may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
