Standard tank style water heaters are large storage tanks which house from 30 to 80 gallons of water. They are highly insulated to help make sure your water will remain piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are quite dependable, though they occasionally have problems. Below are a few frequently occurring problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a fuse has tripped. The first thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater might need replacing. On a gas water heater, the key things to look at are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains untreated, corrosion could progress and develop a leak in the water tank. Replacing an anode rod is a fairly simple procedure and it often extend the life of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but is not rusty could be caused from hard water build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria growth in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank could be caused by a number of issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, corrosion of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be due to 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 blocked, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve may be malfunctioning, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds commonly occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the tank. Hissing could be a sign that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of noises are benign, but it's still a wise idea to have it inspected.
If you have a recent decrease in hot water pressure, it might be caused by sediment in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest type of water heater. They are more energy efficient than their tank cousins, cost less to run and tend to last longer, but are more expensive initially. They require much less less space and do not run out of hot water, but in the beginning can require some extra accessories and re-plumbing or re-routing of gas and water lines.

A tankless water heater utilizes more gas than a common heating system, and may need the installation of wider diameter gas piping. You should verify that your current water pipes can accommodate a tankless heater.
One of the most frequent issues in tankless water heaters is no hot water. This may be caused by a variety of things including a gas, electricity, or water supply issue, ignition failure, an error code in the unit, a clogged pipe, or frozen pipe.
Sediment build up happens frequently and can cause damage to your water heater. Installing a water softener could slow the build up. Another possible solution is to have your water heater flushed twice per year with a descaler.
The majority of tankless water heaters have a screen that displays an error code when there is an issue. There are a wide range of reasons why an error code may show up.
