How Do You Know If You Have Hard Water?

Not sure whether you need a water softener? Here are the common signs of hard water in your home or business:

  • Mineral buildup around faucets, showerheads, and water fixtures
  • Soap scum that frequently appears on bathtubs and shower doors
  • Water heater issues, including frequent breakdowns and inefficiency
  • Dry, itchy skin after bathing
  • Spotted, cloudy dishes after washing

While hard water isn’t necessarily harmful to your health, it can damage appliances and plumbing systems over time. If you notice these signs, Atherton Plumbing can perform a professional water test to determine the exact hardness of your water and whether a water softener is the right solution for you.

Benefits of Installing a Water Softener

When you install a water softener, you’ll experience immediate improvements, including:

  • Smoother Skin & Softer Hair – Hard minerals are removed, preventing dryness and irritation.
  • More Effective Cleaning – Soft water allows soap to lather better, reducing the amount of soap and detergent needed.
  • Brighter, Softer Clothes – Clothes feel softer and last longer without mineral buildup from hard water.
  • Longer-Lasting Appliances – Water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines last longer and perform better with soft water.
  • Lower Energy Bills – Appliances run more efficiently, saving you money on electricity and maintenance.

By removing hard minerals from your water, a professional water softener installation protects your plumbing system, improves water quality, and reduces household expenses over time.

Feb 23, 2026 I called Atherton Plumbing just yesterday to help with a clogged basement kitchen sink drain that had not only backed up ~ dirty water went all over my counter and floor. What a mess!!! So very happy Atherton sent Jason to my home. He thoroughly accessed the situation and explained everything he needed to do to fix the drain and was kind enough to answer all my questions plus he threw in a bit of his knowledge about water sensors which definitely enlightened me. I will be purchasing these sensors...He and the other guy helping (sorry I didn't catch his name) cleaned everything up nicely. I highly, highly recommend Atherton Plumbing. They will certainly be my go to for plumbing needs. Thank you Atherton & Jason you rock!☆☆☆☆☆ + ☆☆☆☆☆ 🙂

Very quick response. Even worked late to get my floor drain clear. Knew exactly what to do the second he saw the floor drain. These folks are pros. If you’re a landlord and need a responsive team that’s fairly priced- these are your guys.

Jason Maxwell came out to check my water heater. He was able to come out the same day that I called. He inspected my corroded water heater and told me it needed to be replaced, before it made a bigger mess than it had made already. The whole tank was really rusty and corroded and water was in the tray. He checked on the price and said he had good news and bad news. The good news was the tank was under warranty and the bad news was installation was $1400. Well...I don't have the skills to install a water heater and told Jason to go ahead. He had to go pickup a water heater, but was only gone about 30 to 40 minutes. He had the water draining out of the old water heater while he went to get the new one. He took the old water heater out and installed the new one and cleaned up the little bit of water that dripped on the floor. Ran water to get the air out of the lines. I asked Jason if he could show me how to change the filter in my Nuvo water softener. He said, "sure". This system was really different from our old one and I bought the wrong filter, so I'm Really glad he helped me out. It only to Jason about 3 hours total, including having to go pickup the new water heater. I asked him some questions about tankless system, because I was curious. He was very knowledgeable and didn't mind answering my questions. We've had good luck with Atherton Plumbing and have used them several times. We've been pleased with all the plumbers.

My shower cartridge was worn out and the shower wouldn't shut off so I had to shut the water off to the house. They sent Macen to take care of it and he was excellent, thus the 5 star rating. He was very respectful of our home and knew exactly what to do and had the new parts on his truck. Done in an hour.....

I had detected a problem with my water pressure for 4 months or so and called Atherton and their Lead Technician Jerry Stover came to my home and my water heater was completely clogged from the water softener residue. Water Softener had sent all it's material to the Hot Water heater and now I had no running water and tank wouldn't drain....Jerry knew exactly what to do and made sure EVERY toilet, sink, bathtub, washer, Everything that receives water in the 3 story home was working and stayed after hours to make sure.....water softener was getting some age and I should have called sooner...As far as Atherton and Jerry Stover...If there was something beyond 5 stars I would leave it. Now I know what to do in the future, everything was explained

The technician (Jason Maxwell) was professional and friendly. He explained everything well, took care of the issue, and provided additional advice for taking care of our water heater and for potential recurrent issues. The communication over text from the company was also very helpful. I appreciated the short description and photo of the technician so we had some information about him before he arrived. Overall, very pleased with the services. Price was reasonable for the services provided, similar to other plumbing services in the area.

Contacted Atherton Plumbing from a referral from a friend. Glad I did, I needed some work done on my shower. Atherton arrived when they told me they would. 2 young men “Dillon and Dalton” arrived on time. Seemed very knowledgeable and were done much earlier than I thought they would. Did a great job, and next time I need plumbing done will definitely be calling Atherton to do the job. Very satisfied with the service. Definitely recommend. Richard Nichols

Had to have a toilet replaced. Excellent and quick service- they were at my house in a few hours to provide a detailed estimate, and the next day to install. Did not try to push me into a getting a new toilet. Instead, they walked me through and provided a bid for my 3 options so I could make an informed decision. High quality materials (I did a comparison of product at big box stores) were used. Would definitely recommend to friends and neighbors. Macen and Dillion were great!
