Many homeowners don’t realize they have hard water until the symptoms start showing up around the house. If you’re seeing chalky white buildup on faucets, cloudy spots on dishes, soap that won’t lather well, or dry skin after showers, hard minerals may be the cause. Hard water can also shorten the life of water heaters, washing machines, and plumbing fixtures by creating scale inside pipes and equipment. In Littleton, mineral-rich water is common, so testing your water hardness is the best way to know for sure. Done’s licensed plumbers can evaluate your home’s water conditions and recommend the right softening solution to protect your plumbing and improve everyday water use.
