No Hot Water

The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing you should check is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy 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 due to hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be caused by a few issues. 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 might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Sounds

Odd sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.

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.
