How Hard Water Affects Your Plumbing in Nevada

Living in Nevada means dealing with hard water — and while it may seem harmless, the long-term effects on your plumbing system can be costly.

What is Hard Water?

Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. It’s common in the Las Vegas Valley and can leave behind scale buildup in your pipes, fixtures, and water heater.

5 Signs Hard Water Is Hurting Your Home:

  • White crust around faucets or showerheads
  • Dry skin and dull hair after bathing
  • Cloudy glassware or spots on dishes
  • Reduced water pressure over time
  • Rising energy bills from water heater inefficiency

How to Fix It:

Installing a whole-home water softener can protect your plumbing system, improve appliance lifespan, and make your water feel better overall.

Recurring drain clogs are more than a nuisance — they could point to deeper issues in your plumbing system.

Common Causes of Frequent Drain Issues:

  • Grease buildup in kitchen lines
  • Hair and soap scum in bathroom drains
  • Tree roots invading sewer lines
  • Old or collapsed piping
  • Low water pressure in older homes

DIY Fixes vs. Professional Solutions:

While plungers and drain cleaners may offer temporary relief, hydro jetting or a camera inspection is often needed to fully solve the problem.

When to Call Blue Swan:

  • You’ve had to unclog the same drain more than twice
  • There’s a foul smell from the drain
  • Water backs up into tubs or other fixtures
