Standard tank style water heaters are big holding tanks which contain from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they can have issues. Below are some frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty could be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which 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 might be due to a few different problems. 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 the top of the water heater may be from 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 could be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Odd noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises frequently take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. 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 reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
