No Hot Water

The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing one should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty may be due to calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be due to 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

Water leaking from above 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 a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Sounds

Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur 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 noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart 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 build up in your pipes or faucets.
