Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which contain 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will remain piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they occasionally have problems. These are some common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty could be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by 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 might be from 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 may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
