Water Heater Maintenance in Katy, TX: Tank Systems

Keep your hot water steady, safe, and efficient with routine tank water heater maintenance. In Katy’s mineral-rich water conditions, sediment and corrosion can shorten a tank’s life and drive up energy costs. Ory’s Plumbing Solutions provides licensed, code-compliant tune-ups that protect your system and your home.

Why tank maintenance matters in Katy

Katy’s moderate-to-high hardness water leaves mineral scale in the tank. That:

  • Insulates heating surfaces → longer run times, higher bills
  • Stresses the tank → rumbling/popping noises, uneven temps
  • Accelerates corrosion → earlier leaks/failures

Regular service restores heat transfer, keeps safety devices working, and helps your tank reach its full lifespan.

What’s included in a professional tank tune-up

Our licensed techs perform a comprehensive checklist tailored to tank water heaters (gas or electric):

  • T&P safety valve test to verify proper discharge
  • Sediment flush to clear mineral buildup from the tank bottom
  • Anode rod inspection (replace when depleted to prevent rust)
  • Burner (gas) or element (electric) check for clean, efficient heating
  • Thermostat calibration & insulation check for steady, safe temps
  • Leak & joint inspection around nipples, drain, and fittings

You get a written report with findings, photos as needed, and straightforward recommendations—no surprises.

Signs your tank needs maintenance now

  • Rumbling or popping sounds during heat-up
  • Rust-tinted or cloudy hot water
  • Water that runs out faster than it used to
  • Dampness around the base, or weeping at fittings
  • It’s been 12+ months since your last service

Not sure if it’s maintenance or a repair? Book a tune-up; if we discover a fault, we’ll explain options and you can continue to our [Water Heater Repair] page.

Flush & anode: the two biggest life-extenders

  • Annual flush: removes sediment that drives energy use and hotspots.
  • Anode rod: the sacrificial metal that protects the tank from rust. We check every visit and recommend replacement when significantly depleted.

These two steps alone can add years to a tank’s useful life and trim operating costs.

How often should you service a tank water heater?

  • Standard Katy homes: Every 12 months (flush + full check).
  • Very hard water / heavy use (large families, recirculation): consider every 6–9 months.
    We’ll tailor the interval based on your water hardness and usage patterns.

What about tankless?

This page covers tank systems only. For coil descaling, inlet filter service, and sensor checks, see our [Tankless Water Heater Maintenance] page.
