Hard Water Damage: What to Do and Who to Call
Hard water damage: what to do first, which warning signs matter, and when to bring in a licensed plumber.
What Causes Hard Water Damage?
Understanding hard water damage helps homeowners in Tampa Bay make informed decisions about when to call a plumber.
Warning Signs
- White or chalky buildup around faucets and showerheads
- Soap that doesn't lather well or leaves a film
- Spots on dishes and glassware after washing
- Stiff, dull-feeling laundry
- Reduced water heater performance or noise from scale buildup
When to Call a Plumber
Call a plumber if buildup is widespread or already affecting appliances like the water heater -- a whole-home solution addresses the cause instead of just the symptoms.
What To Do Right Now
- Descale visible buildup on fixtures with a household descaling solution
- Note how widespread the buildup is (one fixture vs. the whole house)
- Call CDS Service Co at (813) 590-7499
- Check whether other appliances (dishwasher, water heater) show similar signs
