Standard tank style water heaters are big holding tanks which store from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to help make sure your water will remain nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, though they sometimes have issues. These are some frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple process and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty might 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 by bacteria growth in the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be from several different problems. 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 above 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 might be blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Weird noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen 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 noises are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the most recent breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank cousins, are more cost efficient to run and tend to have a longer life, but are more costly to purchase.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a typical heater, and may require the installation of bigger gas pipes. You will want to verify that your existing water lines can support a tankless heater.

Sediment build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Installing a water softener could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
