Why would the water heater cold water supply and the hot water exit both be hot?

There should be a non return valve on the cold water side of the hot water tank. When there is no non return valve the water in the tank heats up and expansion of the water will cause it to travel backward up the cold water pipe thereby equalising the waterpressure normally this expansion would find its way out of the safety pressure valve. So it sounds like the non return valve needs fitting or replacing.
