Standard tank models of water heaters are large storage tanks which contain between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will stay piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally dependable, however they sometimes have problems. These are some common issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown fuse. The first thing you should check is the breaker box.
If the circuit breaker is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might require replacement. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left unresolved, corrosion will eventually progress and result in a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively easy job and it often extend the life of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is simply discolored, but is not rusty could be due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is likely caused from bacteria build up in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be due to a few different issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, break down of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be from the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a malfunctioning temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple requires changing.
Weird sounds from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly take place when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. 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 checked.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
