Common calls

Everyday signs of hard water.

  1. 01

    Scale on fixtures

    White or chalky buildup around faucets, showerheads, and drains is one of the most visible signs.

  2. 02

    Spotty dishes & glasses

    Cloudy film or spots left behind after washing, even when everything looks clean.

  3. 03

    Soap that won't lather

    Minerals in water can make soap and shampoo harder to rinse and slower to suds up.

  4. 04

    Reduced flow

    Over time, mineral buildup can collect in aerators and showerheads and slow water flow.

  5. 05

    Stained tubs & sinks

    Rings and residue that keep coming back no matter how often you scrub.

  6. 06

    Wear on appliances

    Scale can accumulate inside water-using appliances and fixtures over the years.

What “hard water” actually means.

Hard water simply contains higher levels of naturally occurring minerals, mostly calcium and magnesium. It's common in many areas and is largely a nuisance and maintenance concern.

If you're noticing scale, spots, or buildup, give us a call. We'll talk about what you're seeing and the options that may make sense for your home.
