The two most common problems with water heaters is rust and calcification, or "scale". If you have hard water, or water with a high mineral content, the minerals (usually calcium) will cake and coat the base and the pipes, restricting water flow. In some cases, a thick layer of mineral crud will settle to the bottom of the water heater, insulating the water from the burners! This can cause the water to not get hot, or as hot as expected.
