Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, however they sometimes have problems. Below are some common problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
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 fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical 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 left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated process and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust might be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria build up in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be due to a few 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 of the water heater may be caused by 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 might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it checked.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
