Standard tank style water heaters are large storage tanks which house 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to ensure your water will stay piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The first thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check 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 left unresolved, corrosion can progress and result in a leak in the tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty might 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 likely is caused by bacteria build up in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be from a few 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 could be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be broken, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Weird sounds from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently take place 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. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you have a sudden reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
