Hard water may not make you sick but it can damage the plumbing in your home. Hard water has a large amount of calcium and magnesium that gets deposited in your home’s plumbing appliances and pipes over time.
This can cause blockages and may even lead to leaks in your pipes and faucets. You can install a water softener to improve your plumbing in Rockville, MD. In this, blog, we’ll look at some of the problems caused by hard water and why a water softener is a good way to address them.

Although it’s always best to have the furnace maintained in fall to beat out the first cold days of winter, it’s better to have it done late than to skip it entirely.

Has your air conditioner been slowly accumulating ice over the last few days or weeks? No, that isn’t due to the impending arrival of fall. It’s actually a symptom of a serious problem that can cause your entire air conditioner to break down if you don’t deal with it as quickly as possible. If your air conditioner has ice on it, you need to call a professional technician to handle it for you. Let’s go over why ice forms on the air conditioner, and what you can do to stop it from happening.
A water heater that isn’t providing hot water isn’t good for much. That’s kind of its entire purpose for existing, after all. Of course, just because your water heater isn’t currently providing water, doesn’t mean that you need to get a new one. It’s possible that you just have a problem of some sort in the system that needs to be resolved for it to return to normal function. If your water heater isn’t providing enough hot water, read on to find out why that might be happening.
Hopefully, you’ve been staying vigilant for any signs that your furnace is having trouble over the last few months. The faster you can identify signs that your furnace is malfunctioning in some way, the faster you can have it fixed. One of the more obvious warning signs that something isn’t quite right with your furnace is if the system is making strange noises while it’s operating. If your furnace is doing this, you should call for repairs as soon as you can. The following are some of the more common noises that indicate a problem with the system.
Flooding has been a big topic in the news lately, for obvious reasons. While we may not have to worry too much about hurricanes in this area, the possibility of water damage from flooding still exists. If you want to make sure that the more vulnerable parts of your home are as protected as possible with regard to plumbing, it’s a good idea to install a sump pump. Let’s go over how sump pumps work, and why you might want to install one in your home.
Air conditioning problems are more likely to occur during the summer, when strain on the system is much greater. As you rely on your air conditioner to keep your home cool and comfortable during the next few months, it’s a good idea to be extra aware of any symptoms that may indicate a problem with the system. Have a look at some of the most common problems below, and their warning signs.
Most people don’t call for professional services for their plumbing systems unless they notice some kind of problem with them. If you want to keep your plumbing and sewer systems in good shape, though, that kind of reactive thinking is not doing you any favors. The key to making sure that those parts of your home continue to run properly is to take proactive steps. For your drain and sewer system, that means scheduling drain cleaning. Let’s take a look at why drain cleaning is so important, and when you should schedule it.
