Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which house up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will remain nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. Below are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should check is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at 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 this remains unresolved, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated job and it may extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty may be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria which has amassed in the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be caused by a few problems. It could be related to 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 may be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Strange sounds 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 bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
