What goes wrong in Keller homes
Newer homes on their first water heater
71% 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
50% 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 49% 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.
