Since moving to a modern dwelling in South Bend, Indiana, we’ve had a lot of plumbing concerns, but when my spouse and I toured the home, my pal and I were glad by the size and location of the property, two-car garage and recently rennovated washrooms… I enjoyed the big kitchen, several windows and gorgeous view of the wooded section behind the home, my spouse was happy with a unquestionably short commute to his job.
My pal and I invested into a dwelling inspection which failed to reveal the concerns with taxing water, but the house is not affixed to the city’s water however has a private well.
The water is overrun with rust, calcium and lime. It didn’t take long for us to realize that the washrooms had been renovated to hide the fact that the water destroys everything it touches. The fixtures corrode and aerators become obstructed with debris. The mineral deposits build up within the pipes to restrict water pressure. The sinks, toilets and tubs are regularly stained and cleaning requires extreme chemicals, then our towels, clothing and bed linens suddenly become discolored. I’ve given up using the dishwasher because the glasses, plates and silverware come out of the unit looking worse than when I put them in; Despite respected repair, a modern washing unit never lasts longer than five years. It’s not odd for our water boiler to rust, rupture and flood the basement. The water is so incredibly taxing that my pal and I need to remove the anode rod from the water heater, which then voids the warranty. While I cherish our house in South Bend, I am not happy about the condition of the water.
