Standard tank style water heaters are large storage tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you would like it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they occasionally have problems. Below are a few commonly occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the critical things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but not rusty may be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur likely is caused from bacteria growth in the hot water tank.
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 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 might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
