Standard tank models of water heaters are large holding tanks which contain between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will continue to be piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they sometimes have problems. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should check is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water might be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy process and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty could be due to hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria build up in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be due to a number of problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 could be defective, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
