Standard tank style water heaters are hefty storage tanks which hold between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will stay piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they can have problems. Below are some common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacement. On a gas water heater, the key 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 left untreated, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust might be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused by bacteria which has amassed inside the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few issues. It could be caused by 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 of the water heater may be due to 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 may be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Odd sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
