Yes. We install, repair, replace, and maintain both tank and tankless water heaters from all major brands including Rheem, AO Smith, Bradford White, Rinnai, and Navien. We can help you choose the right system for your home and West Texas hard water conditions.

The Permian Basin has some of the hardest water in Texas, typically measuring 15-25 grains per gallon. According to the Water Quality Association, anything above 10.5 gpg is classified as "very hard." This extreme mineral content causes scale buildup in pipes, shortens water heater lifespan by 2-3 years, stains fixtures, and reduces soap effectiveness. A whole-home water softener is one of the best investments an Odessa homeowner can make.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection every two years for homes under 20 years old and annually for older homes. Given the hard water and expansive clay soils in the Permian Basin, West Texas homes are more susceptible to pipe corrosion and foundation-related plumbing issues than homes in other regions.

Yes. The Permian Basin's expansive clay and caliche soils shift with moisture changes, putting stress on copper and CPVC supply lines running under concrete foundations. According to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, the average water damage claim is $11,098. Early detection with electronic leak detection equipment can prevent costly foundation and property damage.
