No Hot Water

The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. 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 might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out 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 simply discolored, but isn't rusty might be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

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

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a few different issues. 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 above 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.

Pilot Light Problems

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

Strange Noises

Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly happen 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 serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
