No Hot Water

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

If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacement. 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 can 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 tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty might be due to hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

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

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a few problems. It could be from 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 malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.

Strange Sounds

Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could indicate 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 drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
