Standard tank style water heaters are large storage tanks which store from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they can have problems. Below are some frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust is likely due to calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a number of issues. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 could be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Strange sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly 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. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
