No Hot Water

The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacement. 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 remains unresolved, corrosion can cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.

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

Smelly Hot Water

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

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from several different issues. It could be caused by 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 could be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Noises

Weird noises 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. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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