When a water heater stops working, a fair number of calls turn out to be something you could have cleared in two minutes, so it is worth checking before you book a repair service.
On an electric unit, go to the panel and look at the circuit breaker. If it has tripped, reset it once. There is also a red reset button on the upper thermostat behind the access panel, and a single press sometimes brings the whole thing back. If either trips again straight away, stop and call, because a breaker that keeps tripping is telling you about a failed element or an electrical fault rather than a nuisance.
On a gas unit, check that the pilot or igniter is lit and that the gas valve is open. A pilot that will not stay lit usually means a thermocouple, which is a genuine repair rather than DIY. If you smell gas at any point, leave it alone and call from outside.
Everything past that point involves the water supply, live electrical or combustion, and is where the guessing gets expensive.
Water heaters do not fail randomly. Four things account for most of it.
The anode rod. A sacrificial metal rod inside the water heater tank that corrodes so the tank does not. When it is used up, the tank starts rusting from the inside, and that is the failure nobody sees coming. Replacing a rod is routine maintenance. Replacing a tank because the rod was never checked is not.
Sediment. Minerals settle to the bottom and bake onto the base. On a gas unit that means rumbling and popping and a burner working through an insulating layer, which is why the symptom people notice first is not enough hot water rather than no hot water. Flushing clears it.
The T&P valve. The temperature and pressure relief valve is the safety device, and it either seeps or seizes. Water flowing from the discharge pipe is not something to cap off, it is the valve doing its job and telling you the pressure or the temperature is wrong.
Connections. The inlet and outlet pipe fittings corrode where dissimilar metals meet. Caught early it is a fitting. Left alone it is a wet floor and often a ruined water heater tank.
A conventional tank runs about eight to twelve years, and where it lands inside that depends almost entirely on water quality and whether anyone ever flushed it. If yours is past ten, rusty water is showing at the hot tap, or you are getting noticeably less hot water than you used to, you are on the replacement side of the decision rather than the repair side.
When it is time, the choice is between a conventional tank unit and going tankless, and the right answer depends on how the household actually uses hot water rather than on which is newer. Two teenagers and back-to-back showers is a different problem from a couple who never run out.
Keeping the anode and the flush on a schedule is what gets you to the top of that range instead of the bottom, and it is included in a maintenance plan alongside the heating and cooling equipment.
Why is there no hot water at all? On electric, a tripped breaker or a failed upper element. On gas, the pilot or thermocouple. Both are common and both are fixable.
Why does the hot water run out so fast? Usually sediment stealing capacity, or a failed lower element on an electric unit heating only the top of the tank. Occasionally the unit is simply undersized for a household that grew.
Is the water heater or the plumbing at fault? If only the hot side is affected it is the heater. If cold water pressure is down too, the problem is upstream in the pipe work, which is a job for licensed plumbers rather than a heater repair.
Can you repair it rather than replace it? Usually, and we will say so. Elements, thermostats, valves and fittings are all repairs. A leaking tank is not, because the leak is the tank wall and there is nothing to fix.

Open 24 hours, 7 days a week, including holidays.
Two tune-ups a year on every system you own, 10% off all repairs and priority scheduling, from $14 a month.
Approved financing spreads the cost of a replacement, so the timing of the work is your decision rather than the equipment’s.
A system that quits without warning leaves you guessing at both the cause and the bill, and most people find out the price only after the work is done. We diagnose the fault, show you what we found, and agree the cost with you before anything is touched. Call (417) 241-5687 or book online.
