What goes wrong in Collin County homes
Newer homes on their first water heater
61% of homes here were built in 2000 or later. Those houses usually have PEX or CPVC supply lines in good shape, so the work is on equipment: original tank water heaters past their 8 to 12 year service life, expansion tanks, pressure regulators and fixtures. See water heater replacement.
1980s and 90s construction and polybutylene
29% of homes were built between 1980 and 1999. Polybutylene supply pipe was installed widely in US homes from about 1978 to 1995, so houses from these years are worth checking for gray plastic pipe stamped PB2110, usually visible at the water heater or under sinks. Insurers and buyers often ask about it. See polybutylene replacement.
Hard water
Texas water is generally hard. With 47% of homes here on electric heat, scale on electric water heater elements is a frequent failure, and newer homes with tankless heaters need yearly descaling. See water softener installation.
