Standard tank type water heaters are big storage tanks which hold between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, however they can have problems. Below are a few common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but isn't rusty may be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth inside the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be from several different issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater could 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 may be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Strange noises 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 tank. 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 have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and usually last longer, but are more expensive up front. They need tremendously less space and don't run out of hot water, but initially can need some extra attachments and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater needs more gas than a common heating system, and may require the installation of larger gas lines. You will also need to verify that your existing water piping can accommodate a tankless heater.

Sediment build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Having a water softener installed could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed every six months with a descaler.
