  Urgent when:

  Rarely urgent; scale builds slowly

  Before help arrives:

  Check your water hardness in the utility's water quality report

  Repair or replace:

  Hard water damaging heaters or fixtures: a softener protects them

• Water Heater Replacement

  The tank itself is leaking

  Before help arrives:

  Close the main shutoff if water is visible

  Repair or replace:

Why Buckeye homes need these repairs

Buckeye is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Phoenix area, mostly new slab homes on the far West Valley. It relies almost entirely on groundwater from two sub-basins, and very hard water, desert heat that bakes garage water heaters, and aging slab plumbing drive most of the softener, water heater and slab leak calls.
