Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to help make sure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you would like it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. Below are a few common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated process and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a number of problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
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 malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Odd 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. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
