Top 5 Water Problems in Bellingham
- Hard Water Buildup
Hard water in Bellingham often leads to white scale buildup on faucets, cloudy glassware, and reduced soap effectiveness. - Iron in Water (Rust Stains)
Well water users in the area may notice orange or reddish stains in sinks, tubs, or on laundry. This is usually caused by iron. - Chlorine Taste and Smell
While city water is safe, it’s often treated with chlorine that leaves an unpleasant taste or odor. - Cloudy or Dirty Water
Some homes experience discolored or cloudy water due to sediment or turbidity in well water. - Dry Skin and Hair
Hard water can dry out skin and hair, especially during the colder Bellingham winters. Softened water helps retain moisture, making your showers and baths noticeably better.
