Tank water heaters are generally dependable, however they sometimes have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.

A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be from several different problems. It could be caused by a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from above the water heater may 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 might be blocked, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires replacing.

Hissing could indicate 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 checked.
