Standard tank type water heaters are hefty holding tanks which store up to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to ensure your water will remain nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, however they sometimes have issues. Below are some frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not a problem then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water might be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty might be caused by scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to several different issues. It could be related to a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater could be from 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 might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium build up in your pipes or faucets.
