Common Water Problems and Solutions

Hard Water

Signs of hard water:

• Soap doesn’t lather well or rinses off poorly.
• Water feels slippery during showers.
• Heavy scale buildup is difficult to clean.

What causes hard water?
Hard water is caused by excess minerals like calcium and magnesium, often picked up as water moves through limestone and chalk deposits.

Solution:We can test your water and, if necessary, install a Water Softener to adjust mineral levels for improved water quality.

Bad Water Pressure

Causes of low water pressure:

• Blockages or issues in pipes.
• Malfunctioning water heater (if only hot water pressure is low).
• Clogged faucets or showerheads.
• Partially closed water meter or shut-off valves.
• Faulty water pressure regulator.
• Corroded or aged plumbing requiring replacement.

Solution:Contact us to diagnose the cause and restore proper water pressure.

Inadequate Hot Water

Signs of inadequate hot water:

• Water isn’t reaching desired temperatures.
• Water is excessively hot.
• No hot water at all.

Steps to troubleshoot:

1. Check the water heater’s temperature setting and adjust if needed.
2. Inspect the circuit breaker or fuses for power issues.

If problems persist, there may be issues with the thermostat, electrical components, or the heater itself.

Solution:We offer expert repair or replacement services for malfunctioning water heaters.

Funny-Tasting Water

Causes of unpleasant water taste:

• Imbalanced mineral content.
• Old pipes leeching metal concentrations.
• Excess chlorine or chemicals from water treatment.
• Environmental contaminants seeping into the supply.

What to do:Stop drinking the water until the problem is resolved. Temporarily switch to bottled water.

Solution:We can:

• Install a water filtration system.
• Identify and address the source of contamination.
• Replace old pipes causing the issue.
