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.

Easy to schedule service, but price is high. It seemed like the tech made up the price on the spot. Works was well done. Great in a pinch but I would shop around if there is time.

Matt Sunnenberg did a wonderful job diagnosing the problem with our AC. He knew what the issue was before opening the compartment to show me the AC coil unit. 19 years old and the rust and decay of the unit was amassing to see. Matt explained all of our options and the cost involved. His advice to replace all of the AC components made the most sense and we felt most confident in his recommendation. Because of the delay in getting the new AC unit ordered and installed, Matt did us a big favor by adding enough Freon to our existing unit in order to keep the house cool temporarily. Thank you, Mike

The appointment couldn't have gone better. It appears that the hose from the water softener had come loose from the drain pipe and that's what was causing the water problem. Thanks for coming out . I hope the problem was taken care of. I wasnt charged as he was there for less than 15 minutes.

Jonle was wonderful to work with from the start. Patrick was excellent- knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and quickly followed up with a quote and timeframe even though the service manager was out of the office that day. I received prompt communication the next morning about the tech’s arrival window, additional text reminders, and even a call the following morning asking if we’d like to move up our timeframe due to a cancellation. Our service tech Chad was kind, professional, got the job done quickly and spent time answering my questions & talking me through everything. I felt very confident in the work he did and information he provided. Their pricing was competitive and significantly better than one of “bigger” names out there (a company we will never be using again now that we’ve found Jonle). It was more in line with other fairly priced companies. Everything was excellent from start to finish and we will use them again in the future and also recommend to others!

On a Tuesday evening at 5pm, we described the problem to Waterworks expecting to have to wait a couple of weeks for an appointment. Instead, they were able to get us on the schedule for Thursday afternoon (only 2 days later)! That day, Brian, our plumber, called and texted to say he when he would arrive, and he did right on schedule. He looked at the problem and identified a couple of different ways it could be handled. Then, Brian looked at pricing for each option to determine the one that was most long lasting yet cost effective. He then worked quickly but carefully to complete the job. And Brian did a great job cleaning up! Couldn't be happier with the job.
