Hard water damage refers to the damage caused by the accumulation of minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, in water. It can manifest in various forms, including scale buildup on fixtures, stains on surfaces, and corrosion of pipes and appliances.
Determine the origin of the hard water, whether it's a faulty water softener or a natural characteristic of the water supply in your area.
Engage a professional water damage restoration company to perform a thorough cleaning of affected areas, removing scale and stains using specialized techniques and equipment.
Consider installing a water softening system to reduce the mineral content in your water, preventing future hard water damage.
Clean fixtures and appliances regularly to prevent mineral buildup. Descaling solutions or vinegar can effectively remove existing scale.
Inspect affected surfaces for damage, such as corrosion or staining. Consult with an expert to determine the extent of the damage and necessary repairs.
