Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which contain up to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they sometimes have issues. Below are some frequently 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 blown circuit breaker. The first 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 might need 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 due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty may be 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 generally caused by bacteria growth in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from several different issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater could 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 blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and usually have a longer lifespan, but are more expensive to purchase. They demand a lot less space and never run out of hot water, but upon installation can require some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater uses more gas than a common heating system, and may need bigger gas pipes. You should verify that your existing water lines can support a tankless heater.
One of the most commonly occurring problems in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This might be related to a number of issues including a gas, electricity, or water supply problem, ignition failure, an error code in the machine, a blocked pipe, or frozen pipe.
Mineral build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener put in could slow the build up. An additional possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
The majority of tankless water heaters are equipped with a screen that puts out an error code when there is an issue. There are a broad variety of reasons why an error code may appear.
