Water Damage Repair: Dealing with Hard Water Damage

Dealing with water damage can be a daunting task, especially when it involves hard water buildup. Hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause extensive damage to plumbing fixtures, appliances, and surfaces.

How do you recover from hard water damage?

  • Start by identifying the source of the hard water damage. Inspect your plumbing system for leaks or blockages that could be causing water buildup.
  • Remove all excess water. Use towels, a wet/dry vacuum, or a moisture extractor to soak up as much water as possible.
  • Ventilate the area. Open windows and doors to allow air to circulate and help dry out the space.
  • Clean affected surfaces. Use a solution of distilled vinegar and water to clean hard water stains and scale from fixtures, appliances, and surfaces.
  • Consider using a water softener. A water softener can remove excess minerals from your water supply, preventing future hard water damage.

It is important to address hard water damage promptly to prevent further damage and potential health hazards. If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, consult with a professional water damage restoration company.
