No Hot Water

The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

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

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be from several different issues. It could be caused by 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 the top of the water heater might be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.

Strange Sounds

Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good 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.
