About Hayes & Son Plumbing in Jacksonville, IL

Our thorough plumbing inspection specifically checks for the effects of hard water, like scale buildup inside your pipes and on your water heater. We assess the flow rate and look for early signs of corrosion or blockages caused by minerals. Identifying this buildup early allows us to recommend solutions, such as water softener installation or targeted descaling, to improve efficiency and prevent major clogs or appliance failure down the line.

In Jacksonville, laundry hoses often fail due to a combination of hard water weakening the rubber and normal wear from pressure fluctuations. During our inspection, we examine your washing machine supply hoses for bulges, cracks, or brittleness. We strongly recommend replacing standard rubber hoses with braided stainless steel burst-proof hoses, which are far more durable. This simple, proactive step during an inspection can prevent a major flood and water damage in your home.

Our local-focused inspection is a comprehensive health check for your plumbing. We test water pressure, inspect visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, check all fixtures and drains, and evaluate your water heater for efficiency and sediment from hard water. Crucially for our area, we pay special attention to appliances prone to hard water damage and verify the condition of critical connections like laundry hoses. You'll receive a clear report with any findings and prioritized recommendations to keep your system running smoothly.
