Standard tank style water heaters are large holding tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are usually dependable, however they occasionally have problems. Below are some common 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 you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust is likely due to calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria which has amassed in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank might be due to several different 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 might be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds 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 sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
