Standard tank models of water heaters are big holding tanks which house between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, however they can have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one 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 might be faulty. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but isn't rusty could be due to calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused by bacteria growth in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be due to a number of issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently 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 noises are nothing serious, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
