No Hot Water

The most frequent reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should check is the fuse 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 look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to several different issues. 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 might 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 might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.

Strange Noises

Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently take place 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. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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