Water Problems in Louisiana: We Can Help With

  • Hard Water

    Hard water is high in minerals like calcium and magnesium. You may notice hard water when you wash your hands, and they feel slimy or when your dishes look cloudy. Hard water leads to inconvenient and costly problems like clothes feeling rough and dull, scale buildup on faucets, dry skin and hair, low water pressure, and more. We have several water softener systems to help eliminate these issues in your home.

  • Iron

    Water containing high amounts of iron causes reddish-brown stains on your fixtures, tubs, and toilets. It can also turn your white garments yellow, make water smell and taste bad, and clog pipes. Talk to our team to see what your options are for reducing iron in your home's water.

  • Hydrogen Sulfide Gas (H2S)

    H2S is a volatile, noxious gas with corrosive properties. It's sometimes referred to as sulfur or a 'rotten-egg' odor coming from your water. In water with a high concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas, it can cause explosions. Our water systems eliminate the unpleasant smells and odor from your drinking water.

  • Acid pH

    Acid water is water with a low pH of 0 - 6.6. It can cause your home's metal pipes to corrode and can also leave blue-green colored stains on your sinks, faucets, and fixtures.

  • Sand

    If you notice cloudy water or water that tastes gritty, you most likely have a problem with sand in your water. It's not only harmful to drink but also causes abrasive issues with any appliances using water in your home.

  • Cloudy Water

    The presence of metals or bacteria can be causes for cloudy water. A good water filtration system or water softener can help eliminate water cloudiness. In order to determine the exact causes of your cloudy water, we recommend taking advantage of our free in-home water test.

  • High Chlorine Content

    Municipal water supplies are required to chlorinate their water supply to ensure the water is free of pathogenic microorganisms which can be harmful. When there are high levels of chlorine in your water, it can cause water to smell or taste like chlorine, cause drying skin, and cause health issues. Get a free water test to learn about our options in helping you filter out excessive chlorine in your water. 

  • Salty Water

    Because we are in an area close to the Gulf Coast, many wells have so much salt that they are basically undrinkable. We have the right water systems available to eliminate high concentrations of salt.

  • Bad Tasting Water

    Some of the culprits behind bad tasting water can include mercury, lead, arsenic, and iron seeping into your water supply. If you are concerned about any harmful chemicals in your water, contact us for a free water test.

  • Tannins

    Fermented organic materials are created by the breakdown of vegetation. When water passes over and through this material, it takes on a yellow to amber color. In the case of a root beer-colored river, water passes through nearby swamps, marshes, or other areas that contain a lot of decaying vegetation and collects these small plant particles that give the river its color.
