  Signs:

  White scale that clogs aerators and showerheads, spotty glasses, a noisy water heater

  Urgent when:

  Rarely urgent; scale builds slowly

  Before help arrives:

  Check your water hardness in the utility's water quality report

  Repair or replace:

  Hard water damaging heaters or fixtures: a softener protects them

• Water Heater Replacement

  Water around the tank base, rusty hot water, a tank past 10 years

  Urgent when:

  The tank itself is leaking

  Before help arrives:

  Turn off gas or power and close the cold-water valve

  Repair or replace:

  Leaking tank: replace. Failed part on a younger tank: repair

• Slab Leak Repair

  Water surfacing through the floor or a large bill jump

  Before help arrives:

  Close the main shutoff if water is visible

  Repair or replace:

  One leak: spot repair. Repeated leaks: reroute the lines

Why Midland homes need these repairs

Midland is a Permian Basin oil city with 1950s ranch homes in its older core and fast-growing newer subdivisions. It blends West Texas reservoir water with groundwater piped from distant ranch well fields, so hard, mineral-heavy water and dry, windy weather shape the plumbing calls.
