BLOG Is Hard Water Hard on Your Plumbing? Centex Rootdown Plumbing Solutions for Mineral Buildup Jun 06, 2024

If you've noticed a build-up of white or yellowish deposits on your faucets, showerheads, and inside your pipes, chances are you have hard water. Hard water is water that has a high mineral content, primarily calcium and magnesium. While not generally harmful to your health, hard water can wreak havoc on your plumbing system over time.

The minerals in hard water can accumulate in your pipes, water heater, and other plumbing fixtures, causing a variety of plumbing issues. The most common problem associated with hard water is mineral buildup, also known as limescale. Limescale can clog your pipes, reduce water flow, and lead to costly repairs if left untreated.

At Centex Rootdown Plumbing, we understand the challenges posed by hard water and are here to help. We offer a range of solutions to combat mineral buildup and keep your plumbing system running smoothly. Here are a few of the services we provide:

Water Softener Installation: One of the most effective ways to combat hard water is by installing a water softener. A water softener works by removing the minerals that cause water hardness, leaving you with soft, clean water that is gentler on your plumbing system. Our team can help you select and install the right water softener for your home.

Limescale Removal: If you already have limescale buildup in your pipes or fixtures, our skilled technicians can remove it safely and effectively. Using specialized tools and techniques, we can break down and flush out the mineral deposits, restoring your plumbing system to optimal performance.

Regular Maintenance: To prevent mineral buildup and other plumbing issues, we recommend scheduling regular maintenance for your plumbing system. Our team can inspect your pipes, water heater, and other fixtures, identify any potential problems, and provide the necessary repairs or adjustments to keep everything running smoothly.

Pipe Descaling: In addition to limescale removal, we also offer pipe descaling services to clean out your pipes and prevent future buildup. Descaling involves using a chemical solution or mechanical tools to break down and flush out mineral deposits, ensuring that your pipes stay clear and free-flowing.
