Imagine waking up to a flooded basement in your Maumee, OH, home or struggling with water damage after heavy rain. It’s a nightmare no homeowner wants to experience.
However, there is a reliable and often overlooked solution that can help protect your home from such disasters: a sump pump. Let’s look at the numerous benefits of installing a sump pump, an unsung hero that can provide you with peace of mind and protect your property from water-related issues.
The short answer to this question is, “yes it is.” However, we understand that you deserve a bit more of an explanation than that!
The thing is, scaling is a very misunderstood problem among homeowners. It is the result of hard water—that is, water with a high level of minerals in it. These minerals include calcium, magnesium, and sometimes iron.
At this point you might be thinking, “but wait, those minerals are harmless!” And that is true, partially. These minerals are completely harmless for you to ingest. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for your plumbing system. What happens is that the minerals leave behind deposits in your pipes. The deposits build up, creating clogs and other problems. Plus, they can settle in your water heater.
