Leo Plumbing and Heating: Local Plumbing Company Serving Highwood, IL 60040

Highwood's hard water causes mineral scale to build up inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, reducing water pressure, efficiency, and lifespan. We combat this with targeted repairs and installations. Our services include repairing or replacing scaled pipes and faucets, installing water softener systems, and performing maintenance flushes on water heaters to remove sediment. For severe cases, we can install a new water pipe system designed to resist scaling, protecting your home's plumbing investment.

Frequent jams are common here and often stem from hard water scale or worn internal parts. We always start with a thorough repair service, which includes clearing the jam, inspecting the blades and motor, and cleaning out mineral buildup. If the unit is old, damaged, or underpowered for your household, a new garbage disposal installation might be more cost-effective. We'll provide an honest, expert assessment and recommend the best solution for your kitchen and budget.

Absolutely. Low hot water pressure is a classic sign of hard water scale clogging your water heater's inlet or the pipes themselves. We offer diagnostic plumbing inspections to pinpoint the issue. The solution may involve repairing the affected water pipes, installing a new water heater with anti-scale components, or adding a hot water recirculation pump to improve overall system performance. We'll find the root cause and restore your water pressure efficiently.
