Signs include a rotten egg smell (added odorant), hissing sounds near gas lines, or visible rust on exposed pipes.

Yes, San Jose's hard water leaves mineral deposits that can clog faucets, showerheads, and water heaters, reducing efficiency and lifespan. It can also damage appliance connections. We offer installation of water softeners or conditioners to address the issue at the source. For existing scale buildup, we provide thorough descaling services for fixtures, water heaters, and pipes, and can repair or replace any components that have been compromised by the scaling.

When we install your new water heater, we consider San Jose's hard water. We can install a compatible water softening system upstream to prevent rapid scale accumulation inside the tank, which extends its life and maintains efficiency. We also recommend and install anode rods designed for hard water conditions. Our installation includes a full inspection of your existing water lines and pressure to ensure the new system operates optimally and is integrated correctly with your home's plumbing.
