Standard tank models of water heaters are hefty storage tanks which hold between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are immensely insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be piping hot any time you want it.
Tank water heaters are normally able to be counted on, however they sometimes have issues. Below are some common problems that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent cause of no hot water in the water heater is a circuit breaker has tripped. The initial thing you should evaluate is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could need replacement. On a gas water heater, the critical things to check 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 could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a fairly simple process and it may extend the lifetime of your water heater by a few years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but does not contain rust might be due to scale build up on the heating element or sediment inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur is generally caused by bacteria build up in the water heater.
A water leak from the bottom of the tank could be caused by a few problems. It could be caused by 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 caused by the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty 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 may be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be broken, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Odd noises from your hot water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other noises commonly take place 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. Most noises are nothing to worry about, but it's still a good idea to have it checked.
If you have a recent drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
