Standard tank type water heaters are large storage tanks which store 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are tremendously insulated to ensure your water will stay nice and hot whenever you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are usually dependable, however they sometimes have issues. Below are a few commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most common reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The first thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.

Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated process and it could extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust might be caused from calcification build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank might be caused by a few issues. 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 caused by 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 blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacing.

Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
