Georgetown & Sun City Plumbing & HVAC Experts - Hard Water Solutions

Georgetown’s water quality report does not publish a hardness figure. Its Lake Georgetown water is treated by the City of Round Rock. Private wells in Williamson County run harder: the median sampled well tests 282 mg/L, about 16.5 grains per gallon, and 78% of sampled wells test very hard.

The median home in Georgetown was built in 2008, according to the Census Bureau. 9% were built before 1980 and 45% since 2010. Older homes tend to need drain, valve and ductwork attention; newer ones are more often reaching the end of their original water heater and AC.

Common signs include white or chalky buildup on faucets and showerheads, spots on dishes and glassware, soap that doesn't lather well, dry or itchy skin after showering, dull or stiff laundry, and reduced water pressure. You may also notice your water heater and appliances failing prematurely due to scale buildup.

A water softener uses a process called ion exchange. Water flows through a tank filled with resin beads charged with sodium ions. As hard water passes through, the calcium and magnesium minerals stick to the beads while sodium ions are released into the water. Periodically, the system regenerates by flushing the beads with salt water to remove the minerals and recharge the resin.

We recommend annual maintenance for traditional tank water heaters, which includes flushing sediment, checking the anode rod, testing the pressure relief valve, and inspecting all connections. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your unit.

Before a drain stops working completely, it will usually give you a few warnings. The most obvious sign is slow draining, where water takes much longer than usual to empty from a sink or tub. You might also hear strange gurgling sounds coming from the pipes as water struggles to get past the partial blockage. Another common sign is a foul odor coming from the drain.
