Standard tank style water heaters are hefty holding tanks which house up to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are quite able to be counted on, though they occasionally have problems. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated process and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust might be due to calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria which has amassed in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from several 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 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.
There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Strange sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen 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 sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
