No Hot Water

The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.

If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important 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 left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy job and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.

Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.

Smelly Hot Water

Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria build up inside the water heater.

Water Leaking from the Bottom

A water leak from the base of the tank can be from a few different issues. It could be related to 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

Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.

Pilot Light Issues

There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Strange Sounds

Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.

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.
