Standard tank style water heaters are large storage tanks which contain 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they can have issues. These are some common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. 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 may require replacement. 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 can progress and develop a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated job and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but does not contain rust could be due to hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could 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 above the water heater could be due to 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 clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Odd 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 bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
