What goes wrong in Waller County homes
Newer homes on their first water heater
67% 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.
Natural gas in most homes
58% of occupied homes here heat with utility gas, so gas water heaters, ranges and dryers are common. That means gas line extensions for new appliances, flexible connector replacements and venting checks when a water heater is swapped. If you smell gas, leave first and call the gas utility from outside. See gas line repair.
Hard water
Texas water is generally hard. With 58% of homes here on gas, scale settles as sediment in gas water heater tanks, which then rumble and wear out early, and newer homes with tankless heaters need yearly descaling. See water softener installation.
