Standard tank type water heaters are hefty storage tanks which house up to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you want it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they can have issues. Below are a few common 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 circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at 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 is not treated, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but not rusty could be caused by scale 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 growth inside the hot water tank.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank can be due to a few different issues. 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 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 several reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Strange noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen 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. Most noises are benign, but it's still a smart idea to have it inspected.
If you experience a recent reduction in hot water pressure, it could be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
