This varies depending on the type of water heater you have, and how old you have been with it. For example, electric water heaters (and the most common type of water heater in the US) have two elements that allow them to heat the water, the top element, and the lower element. If you are running out of hot water very quickly, it is most likely that only the top element is working, and the lower element is not. If the top element didn't work, the bottom element wouldn't, so you couldn't even have hot water.

Another option could be to have the reset button on your water heater trip on its own. If this happens it may be a sign of a much more serious problem. Now if you have a gas hot water tank, the most likely cause is the dip tube. This dip tube is a piece of pipe that directs cold water to the bottom of the tank so that it heats up. Now if you have a gas hot water tank, the most likely cause is the dip tube. This dip tube is a piece of tubing that directs cold water to the bottom of the tank to heat it up. However, with the deterioration of the passage of time this piece of tube ends up shortening causing the cold water to mix with the hot water, producing instead warm water.

No. These types of cleaners are highly harmful and corrosive, and a great danger if you have small children and pets in your home. These cleaners will do more harm than good to your pipes and will accelerate their deterioration from the inside out causing corrosion, leaks, and irreversible damage to the pipe. If this happens you will have to change the entire drain line, which is a complex and expensive process. There are biodegradable products like enzymes and friendly bacteria cleaners that will help prevent grease and sludge from building up inside pipes.

In 95% of the cases, it is due to a malfunction of the flapper, either that it does not close completely or because it does not make a proper seal around the flush valve. If the flapper won't close, move the handle a little and that will fix the problem. However, if the flapper is worn and does not seal properly, there will be no choice but to replace it with a new one. Otherwise the flapper will never seal completely causing the water to leak into the toilet and the tank will not fill with enough water to push the float up and shut off the water supply, causing considerable water loss with each toilet flush.
