No Hot Water

The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing one should check is the fuse box.

If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated process 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 calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by a number of 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 might be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 could be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.

Strange Sounds

Strange sounds from your 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 be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a wise 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.

Common Tankless Water Heater Problems
