Standard tank models of water heaters are hefty storage tanks which contain up to 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to ensure your water will stay piping hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are generally able to be counted on, though they can have issues. Below are some commonly occurring issues that affect standard tank type gas and electric water heaters.
The most typical cause of no hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you should check is the fuse box.
If the fuse box is okay then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater may be faulty. On a gas water heater, the important things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rust colored hot water could be caused by corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this remains unresolved, corrosion will eventually cause further deterioration and result in a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively simple job and it often extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is only discolored, but isn't rusty is likely due to scale build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria build up in the hot water tank.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to a number of issues. 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 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 may be clogged, there might be air in the gas line, the gas valve could be defective, or the thermocouple needs changing.
Weird noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently occur when there is a buildup of sediment in the lower portion of the water heater tank. 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 inspected.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it may be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
Tankless water heaters are the newest breed of water heater. They are more power efficient than their tank counterparts, are more cost efficient to run and tend to have a longer life, but are more expensive up front.
