Most homeowners in Georgina battle moderate to hard water. If you ignore it, mineral buildup can ruin appliances and dry out your skin. A water softener is often the smartest defense for your home’s plumbing.
4 Signs You Have Hard Water
In York Region, groundwater is rich in calcium and magnesium. Your home will tell you if these minerals are present:
Crusty Faucets: Look for a chalky white residue (scale) caking your showerheads and taps.
Cloudy Glassware: If dishes exit the dishwasher looking spotted or milky, minerals are the culprit.
Itchy Skin: Hard water clings to soap, leaving a film on your skin that causes dryness and irritation.
Rough Laundry: Towels feel stiff and clothes fade prematurely when washed in untreated water.
When to Call a Georgina Pro?
Vinegar cleans minor scale, but it won't save your pipes. Call a professional if your water pressure drops or your water heater starts popping (a sign of sediment).
