Howard's Hardware & Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Toledo, OH 43615

We're very familiar with Toledo's hard water and the grease buildup it can cause. For hard water scaling, we inspect your pipes and water heater for mineral deposits that reduce efficiency and can lead to damage. We offer targeted descaling services and can recommend or install water softeners to prevent future issues. For kitchen grease clogs, we use specialized tools and methods to safely clear the blockage and advise on best practices to keep your drains clear. Addressing these local problems correctly helps extend the life of your plumbing.

Yes, we provide complete water heater services. Our technicians will first perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the issue. If it's a repairable problem like a faulty heating element or a small leak, we'll fix it efficiently. However, if your unit is old, severely scaled from Toledo's hard water, or leaking extensively, a replacement is often more cost-effective. We'll explain all options clearly and handle the installation of a new, energy-efficient water heater tailored to your home's needs.

Our plumbing inspection is a comprehensive check of your home's system. We examine visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure, inspect fixtures like faucets and toilets, and assess your water heater's condition and safety features. We also check drains for flow and look for signs of hidden issues, paying special attention to areas prone to local problems like grease buildup in kitchen lines. The goal is to identify small problems before they become major repairs, giving you peace of mind about your plumbing's health.
