Descale Services
Over time, mineral deposits like calcium and magnesium, commonly found in hard water, can build up inside your pipes and appliances, causing blockages, reduced water flow, and decreased efficiency. Our descaling services are designed to remove these stubborn deposits and restore your plumbing to optimal performance.
What is Descaling?
Descaling is the process of removing mineral buildup, also known as limescale, from the inside
of your pipes, water heaters, and other plumbing fixtures. Limescale is especially common in
areas with hard water, where high concentrations of minerals are present. As water moves
through your pipes, these minerals gradually accumulate, leading to:
- Clogged pipes: Mineral deposits can reduce the diameter of your pipes, leading to slower water flow or even complete blockages.
- Decreased appliance efficiency: Water heaters, boilers, and other plumbing-related appliances can become less efficient as scale builds up on heating elements, causing them to work harder and use more energy.
- Increased wear and tear: Mineral buildup can damage your pipes and appliances over time, leading to costly repairs or replacements if not properly addressed.
Why Descale Your Plumbing System?
Descaling is essential for maintaining the efficiency, longevity, and safety of your plumbing
system. Some of the key benefits of descaling include:
- Improved Water Flow: Removing limescale from your pipes restores proper water flow and pressure, ensuring that your plumbing system works as it should.
- Enhanced Appliance Performance: Appliances like water heaters and dishwashers operate more efficiently after descaling. This helps reduce energy consumption and can extend the life of your appliances.
When Do You Need Descaling Services?
If your home or business has hard water, you’re more likely to experience mineral buildup in
your plumbing system. Here are a few signs that it might be time for a professional descaling
service:
- Reduced Water Pressure: A noticeable drop in water pressure is often caused by mineral deposits narrowing the pipes, which restricts the flow of water.
- Slow Draining Sinks and Tubs: Limescale can lead to slow drainage in your sinks, tubs, or showers. If you notice that water takes longer to drain than usual, scale buildup may be the culprit.
- Frequent Appliance Repairs: If you frequently have to repair your water heater, dishwasher, or other water-using appliances, scale buildup may be causing them to malfunction.
