Plumbers in Bentonville, Arkansas

In the newer homes, tankless water heaters are common. A tankless unit heats water as it passes through a heat exchanger, and Northwest Arkansas hard water leaves scale on that exchanger. The scale cuts flow and efficiency, and the unit starts to run hot, run cold or throw error codes. Descaling it on a schedule is routine maintenance, and it is the main thing that protects the unit. When a tankless unit is past saving, we also handle the replacement and the gas and copper connections it needs.

Hard water is not only a water heater problem here. Premium faucets, shower valves and custom tile collect mineral deposits at the aerators and valve seats, and a house with finished spaces makes a hidden leak expensive. We look for a leak with non-invasive detection before anything is opened, so the repair stays a small one.

The established homes are the other half of Bentonville. Older houses can still have galvanized supply lines and clay or cast iron drains, with the same corrosion, pressure loss and root problems we see in Fayetteville and Rogers. If you are not sure which side your plumbing comes from, ask us to take a look. A camera on the sewer line and a look at the water heater tell most of the story.
