No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty could be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

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

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom 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 the top of the water heater might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Noises

Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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