No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one should check is the breaker box.

If the fuse box 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 key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a few issues. 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 could 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 several 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 might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Noises

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

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.

Common Tankless Water Heater Issues

No Hot Water

Mineral Build Up
