What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Hard Water Scale Removal from Fixtures & Appliances?
Hard water scale removal focuses on the existing mineral deposits left behind by Las Vegas’ hard water on:
Faucets and sink aerators
Showerheads and tub spouts
Toilet fill valves and supply lines
Dishwasher, refrigerator, and washing machine water connections
Visible trim and, in some cases, glass and surrounds near fixtures
We use appropriate descaling procedures and products to:
Dissolve or loosen mineral scale
Restore proper flow and spray patterns
Improve the look and function of affected plumbing hardware
Where possible, we also help you prevent future buildup with maintenance and treatment options.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Plumbers, not just cleaners: We understand what’s behind the fixture—valves, supply lines, water heaters, and more.
Finish-conscious approach: We choose methods that respect your fixtures, glass, and trim, not just blast away buildup.
Big-picture advice: We can help with scale removal now and recommend softening or conditioning to reduce new buildup.
Local hard water experience: We work with Las Vegas–area hardness levels every day, in both old and new homes.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Look closely at faucets, showerheads, and glass for crusty white or yellowish deposits.
Note any weak flow, spray patterns, or clogged aerators in sinks and showers.
Check around your dishwasher, ice maker, and water heater for signs of scale.
Avoid aggressive scraping that can scratch chrome, fixtures, or glass.
If a fixture is almost fully clogged, don’t force it—it can crack or break.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for hard water scale removal from fixtures and appliances; tell us which fixtures or appliances are most affected.
Common Situations Where Scale Removal Makes Sense
Fixtures have a rough, chalky crust that normal cleaning can’t remove.
Showerheads or faucets spray sideways, weakly, or unevenly.
Glass around showers and tubs shows heavy, stubborn spotting and scale near water outlets.
Appliances like dishwashers, washers, or ice makers show signs of restricted water flow or scale at connections.
You’re planning to install new fixtures or appliances and want existing lines and shutoffs cleaned up first.
Inspection of Fixtures, Appliances & Connections
We walk through your home to identify which fixtures and appliance connections are most affected by scale, and evaluate whether removal or replacement makes more sense for each item.
Access & Protection of Work Areas
We protect nearby surfaces as practical (counters, tubs, floors), then shut off and access fixtures or supply connections that need cleaning or service.
Disassembly & Descaling of Key Components
Where appropriate, we remove aerators, showerheads, and certain trim pieces, and apply descaling products and techniques to break down mineral deposits without harming finishes.
Appliance & Valve Scale Treatment
We assess visible scale at appliance shutoff valves, supply connections, and in some cases internal components, and treat or recommend targeted cleaning or part replacement as needed.
Rinse, Reassembly & Flow Testing
We rinse thoroughly, reassemble fixtures, and test for improved flow, spray patterns, and operation, confirming that descaled components are leak-free and functional.
Scale Prevention Recommendations & Next Steps
We review what we found and how much scale was present, then discuss long-term options like water softeners, conditioners, and simple maintenance routines to reduce future buildup.
What’s Included
A typical hard water scale removal from fixtures and appliances service may include:
Walkthrough and inspection of key fixtures and water-using appliances
Targeted descaling of selected faucets, showerheads, aerators, and visible scale areas
Cleaning or clearing of clogged aerators and spray outlets where feasible
Assessment and basic treatment of scale at appliance shutoff valves and connections
Flow and operation testing after descaling work is completed
Recommendations for any fixtures that should be replaced instead of cleaned, plus long-term treatment options
(Exact scope depends on fixture condition, number of items, and severity of scale.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Pricing and timing depend on:
Number and type of fixtures/appliances needing scale removal
Severity of deposits (light film vs heavy, long-term buildup)
Whether fixtures can be effectively descaled or should be replaced
Access to the water heater, shutoff valves, and appliance connections
After a quick evaluation, we’ll provide a clear estimate based on the fixture count and level of work needed, and we’ll explain when replacement may be more economical than extensive cleaning.
Insurance & Claims Help
Hard water scale removal is typically maintenance and cosmetic/functional improvement, not an insurance-covered item. However, heavy scale can sometimes contribute to leaks, valve failures, or appliance issues that lead to water damage.
On the plumbing side, we can:
Document scaled or damaged valves, fittings, or components we discover while working.
Provide itemized invoices and estimates for any repairs or replacements recommended during scale removal.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if a related leak or failure has already caused damage.
Your insurance company and policy always decide what’s covered; our job is to provide clear plumbing observations and documentation if needed.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Scale removal has some limits:
Severely corroded or aged fixtures may not clean up well and are sometimes better replaced.
Heavy, long-term scale can weaken components, so occasionally descaling exposes pre-existing damage.
Glass and finishes that have been etched by years of scale may not return to a “like new” appearance, even after thorough cleaning.
Internal scale inside older water heaters or piping may require separate flushing or upgrades beyond fixture-level work.
We’ll be honest about where cleaning will help, and where you’ll get better results by replacing fixtures or adding water treatment.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Appropriate descaling products: We use professional-grade scale removers suited for plumbing surfaces and fixtures.
Fixture-safe techniques: We aim to protect finishes and seals while breaking down mineral deposits.
Plumbing-aware approach: As licensed plumbers, we consider valves, seals, and connections, not just visible surfaces.
Clear explanations: We explain what we cleaned, what we couldn’t, and what we recommend next so you can plan future improvements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make my old fixtures look brand new?
We can often make a big improvement, but severe scale and etching may still leave some marks. If a fixture is too far gone, we’ll recommend replacement.
Will scale removal fix low water pressure?
If low flow is caused by clogged aerators or scale inside the fixture, yes, it often helps. If it’s due to piping or supply issues, additional plumbing work may be needed.
Do you clean inside appliances too?
We primarily address plumbing-side connections and valves. Internal appliance cleaning may be done by appliance technicians or using manufacturer-recommended cleaning cycles/products.
Can this damage my fixtures?
We use fixture-appropriate methods and will tell you when descaling might expose existing weakness. In some cases, replacement is safer.
Will scale just come back?
Over time, yes—unless you change the water chemistry with a softener or conditioner. We can discuss options to reduce future buildup.
