How Do You Know If You Have Hard Water?

Not sure if you need a water softener? Look out for these common signs of hard water in your home or business:

  • Mineral Buildup – White or chalky deposits around faucets, showerheads, and sinks.
  • Soap Scum & Residue – Soap doesn’t lather well, leaving a sticky film on skin, hair, and bathroom surfaces.
  • Water Heater Issues – Scale buildup inside water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines causes inefficiency and frequent breakdowns.
  • Dry, Itchy Skin & Hair – Hard minerals strip away moisture, leading to dryness and irritation.
  • Spotted or Cloudy Dishes – Dishes and glassware look dull and stained even after washing.

While hard water isn’t harmful to drink, it can damage plumbing fixtures and appliances over time. If you notice these issues, The Waterworks can conduct a professional water test to determine your water hardness level and recommend the best solution.  

Benefits of Installing a Water Softener

A water softener removes calcium and magnesium, transforming your water quality and providing immediate benefits:

  • Smoother Skin & Softer Hair – Say goodbye to dry, irritated skin with softened water.
  • More Effective Cleaning – Soap lathers better, reducing the amount of soap and detergent needed.
  • Brighter, Softer Clothes – Clothes last longer and feel softer without mineral buildup.
  • Longer-Lasting Appliances – Water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines operate more efficiently and last longer.
  • Lower Energy Bills – Appliances work better with soft water, saving money on electricity and maintenance.
  • Fewer Plumbing Repairs – Soft water prevents scale buildup, extending the life of your pipes and fixtures.

Installing a water softener is an investment that improves comfort, protects your plumbing system, and reduces household expenses.

We move in 10 years ago. Several year ago we had JonLe service our two systems. Our AC units we’re now 15 years old and needed replaced along with the coils. JonLe gave us great prices, great service and the staff finished the job on both systems in one day. Couldn’t be happier, Thanks JonLe John A.

I needed to have a new kitchen faucet installed. Waterworks was recommended to me by a friend. Just to be sure I checked out their reviews online, which added up to 4.7 out of 5 stars. I called at 7:45 a.m. the day after New Years Day (a Friday morning), and an actual human, who spoke understandable English, answered. I explained my problem, and she checked that day's scheduled openings, of which there were none. That didn't surprise me, but then I was happily surprised when she offered me an appointment Monday morning. I happily booked it, and, sure enough , Kameron showed up right around 8:30. After some show and tell on my part, he quickly, efficiently, and professionally got to work. He found that I needed new hot and cold water shut-off valves with new 1/4-turn angle stops for improved serviceability, which I authorized him to do after showing me the problem. He was most polite, personable and respectful to me and of my home, and knowledgable, finishing the job in a timely manner and to my complete satisfaction. I am putting Waterworks (and Kameron) on my speed dial for any future needs. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Collin came out and was extremely professional and arrived on time. He did excellent work and explained everything clearly while also keeping a great, friendly conversation throughout the visit. Our issue was that no water was coming out of the tub faucet. Not only did he fix that problem, but he also repaired a leaking pipe connected to the tub spout that we didn’t even realize needed attention. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. We were very satisfied with the service and will definitely be using this company again in the future.

Our sump pump was found leaking on a Saturday around 2p. I called immediately and we were able to arrange for an emergency appt. Garrett was a great plumber, courteous/professional and very efficient in his work late that evening. My only complaint would be the lack of ability to know a time or have more frequent communication about the workers arrival time after my initial call. I had to call around 10p and they finally confirmed an appt from 10:45p-12:45a. Service was excellent and price was reasonable. Would have given 5 stars if communication was better about the appt time.

My tech was professional, and the price was reasonable. Before the tech left, it appeared the problem was solved, however it turns out only part of it was. I reached out them immediately, and the tech returned the next day. He fixed all the problems on my initial complaint, found one more issue and addressed that, too. He spent a lot of time in my home, was very polite and competent. I will use Waterworks again.

My tenants did not have working water over the weekend and no vendors were available. Waterworks were able to come out on the same day and get the repairs and water turned back on within hours. Susan from dispatch is wonderful and techs Jeff Nick and Tommy were very communicative and got the job done. I would 1000% reccomend to anyone for after hours or over the weekend emergencies.
