Standard tank style water heaters are big holding tanks which hold up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, however they occasionally have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may 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 remains unresolved, corrosion can cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty is likely caused from hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be from a few issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater may be from 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 could be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
