Standard tank style water heaters are big holding tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be piping hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally dependable, though they sometimes have issues. Below are a few frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there is no hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The initial thing one should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might 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 this remains unresolved, corrosion could progress and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly uncomplicated procedure and it may extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty might be caused from scale 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 growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be due to a few problems. 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 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 clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. Most noises are benign, but it's still a good idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent drop in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
