No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by a few problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.

Water Leaking from the Top

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

Strange Noises

Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a recent drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
