No Hot Water

The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should check is the breaker box.

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

Rusty, Dirty, or Discolored Water

Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy procedure and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused by bacteria build up in the hot water tank.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be due to several different problems. 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

Water leaking from above the water heater might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Problems

There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.

Strange Sounds

Weird sounds 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 indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.

Low Hot Water Pressure

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