Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which contain between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, however they can have problems. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy job and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty is likely caused from scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria growth inside the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few different issues. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are several 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 defective, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
