No Hot Water

The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one should check is the breaker box.

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty could be caused by calcification 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 usually caused from bacteria build up in the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a number of problems. 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 the Top

Water leaking from above the water heater could be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 could be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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