As summer comes to an end and cooler weather arrives, September is the perfect time to shift your focus toward fall home maintenance. While you may be checking your HVAC system, cleaning gutters, or preparing your yard for the changing season, there’s another part of your home worth putting on your fall checklist: your water.

‍

Your home’s water system works year-round, and fall is a great time to make sure everything is functioning properly and your water quality is where you want it to be.

Changes in seasons can be a good reminder to take a closer look at your home's water. If you’ve noticed an unusual taste or smell, cloudy water, staining around fixtures, or buildup on faucets and appliances, these could be signs of an underlying water-quality issue.

‍

Our water professionals can help identify what's actually in your water and provide insight into which treatment options may be appropriate for your home.

‍

Pay Attention to Hard Water

Hard water is one of the most common water-quality concerns homeowners experience. It contains elevated levels of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can leave behind scale and buildup.

‍

You may notice hard water through:

‍

Spots on dishes and glassware

‍
White buildup around faucets and showerheads

‍
Soap that doesn’t lather easily

‍
Drym feeling skin or hair

‍
Mineral buildup inside appliances

If these issues sound familiar, fall can be a great time to explore whether a water softener or other treatment solution could help.

‍

Prepare for the Months Ahead

As temperatures drop, your household may begin using more hot water. Between longer showers, more laundry, cooking, and spending more time indoors, your water heater and other water-using appliances may see increased use. Water quality can play a role in the performance of these appliances. Depending on your home's water, mineral buildup can accumulate over time and potentially affect efficiency.

‍

Taking care of water-quality concerns now can help you head into the colder months with greater peace of mind.

‍

Head Into Fall With Confidence

September offers a great opportunity to get ahead of potential issues and make sure your home's water is ready for another season.
