Standard tank style water heaters are large storage tanks which hold from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will remain piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, though they sometimes have problems. Below are some common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could require replacement. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water can be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated process and it could extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply 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 smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be from a few problems. It could be caused by 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 from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning 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 might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Strange sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
