Hard water is a common issue that many homeowners face, but few realize the impact it has on their plumbing. Water with high mineral content, particularly calcium and magnesium, can cause scale buildup inside pipes, reducing water flow and increasing pressure on your system. Over time, this leads to clogged pipes, inefficient water heaters, and even early pipe corrosion.
If left untreated, hard water can also affect everyday appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, forcing them to work harder and wear out faster. Installing a water softener system can help extend the lifespan of your plumbing and improve water efficiency. If you suspect hard water issues in your home, KP Plumber offers professional water testing and softener installations to protect your pipes and appliances.
