Standard tank type water heaters are big storage tanks which contain up to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, however they can have issues. These are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively easy process and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty may be due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be caused by a number of problems. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater could be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 could be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly occur 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. The majority of sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
