No Hot Water

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

If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may 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

Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust is likely due to hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by several different issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion 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 damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

There are a few 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 needs changing.

Strange Sounds

Weird sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly 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 smart idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
