Plumbing Questions from Riverdale, GA Homeowners

Hard water, in short, is water that contains an excessive quantity of dissolved minerals like calcium, magnesium, and so on. Soft water, on the other hand, is treated so harmful minerals don't build up. For comparison, natural rainwater is soft, not hard. Hard water can cause considerable damage to plumbing fixtures, pipes, and the things water in your home touches such as laundry and even your skin. If you suspect you have a hard water problem, we recommend getting in touch with a professional to get it fixed before it causes any expensive, long-lasting damage to your plumbing.

There are many reasons your faucet could be leaking. There could be a problem in the o-ring, a small disc that holds the faucet handle in place and, if worn out, can cause leaking. There could be valve corrosion, problems with the washer, worn out seals, or general (and unfortunate) broken pipes or fittings. While this list of potential problems may seem daunting, they're all problems that can be easily fixed by a proper plumbing expert.

At home you can help avoid build up by installing a drain catcher to catch physical debris. After that, a great way to address small clogs is by pouring a mixture of hot water, baking soda, and vinegar down your drains to loosen the build-up. If that doesn't work, it's time to call in the drain cleaning professionals.
