Tank water heaters are usually dependable, however they sometimes have problems. These are some common problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust could be due to calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused from bacteria growth in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to a few 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 above the water heater may be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 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 sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
