Standard tank type water heaters are big holding tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, though they can have issues. Below are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent cause of no 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 fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty may be caused by hard water 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 growth in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to a few different issues. It could be related to 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 may 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 blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacement.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank counterparts, are more economical to run and generally have a longer lifespan, but are more costly to purchase. They need tremendously less space and do not run out of hot water, but at the start can need some extra equipment and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater needs more gas than a typical heater, and may require bigger gas lines. You will also need to verify that your current water lines can accommodate a tankless heater.

Sediment build up happens a lot and can cause damage to your water heater. Putting in a water softener could slow the build up. An additional solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaling cleaner.
