At Pete Black Plumbing, we’re here to help you tackle common water issues like iron, hardness, and odors. If you’ve noticed any of these problems in your home, you’re not alone. Here’s how you can identify these issues and what we can do to help.

Identifying Hard Water and Iron Problems

Hard water often leaves a telltale sign: white calcium buildup around faucets. You might also notice that soap doesn’t lather well, and glass surfaces have spots. Iron in the water is another common issue, leaving rust-colored stains in toilets and sinks.

Testing Your Water

To address these issues effectively, we begin by testing your water. We take samples from before the water treatment system to understand the extent of the problem. Our team demonstrates this testing process right in front of you, so you can see the results firsthand.

In a recent test, we found a water hardness level of 20 grains, which is quite high. This means significant hard water issues, but don’t worry—there’s a solution.

Our Recommended Solutions

At Pete Black Plumbing, we recommend a comprehensive approach to tackle these issues:

  1. Iron Filter: Removes iron to prevent those unsightly stains.
  2. Water Softener: Eliminates calcium and magnesium, the main culprits of hard water.
  3. Carbon Filter: Takes care of any unpleasant odors in your water.

If you’re experiencing any of these water issues, give us a call at Pete Black Plumbing. We’re here to ensure your water is clean, clear, and odor-free.
