No Hot Water

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

If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key 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 remains unresolved, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria build up in the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a few issues. It could be related to 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 the top of the water heater may be due to 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 may be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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