Standard tank type water heaters are hefty storage tanks which house 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, however they occasionally have problems. Below are some common issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there isn't any hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box 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 key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water can be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If left untreated, corrosion could eventually progress and develop a leak in the tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly easy procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but is not rusty might be caused by scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water which has an odor of rotten eggs or sulfur is usually caused by bacteria build up inside the water heater tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be from a few 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 above the water heater could 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 could be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly 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. The majority of sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you experience a sudden decrease in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
