Standard tank models of water heaters are big storage tanks which house 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you would like it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they can have problems. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is fine then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to check 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 left untreated, corrosion will eventually 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 life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but not rusty may be caused by hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be from several different issues. 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 the top of the water heater could be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a damaged 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 may be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be broken, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently 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. Most sounds are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
