No Hot Water

The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require 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 could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust could be caused by calcification 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 from bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank could be from several different 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 the top of the water heater could 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 could be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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