Hard water contains a high level of dissolved minerals that consistently recrystallize to form scale and lime deposits. This hardened by-product resides and builds up over time in your plumbing pipes and in the motors of water-using appliances. Dishwashers, washing machines, and water heaters can all sustain significant damage from these mineral deposits, causing reduced efficiency and an increased need for repairs. In addition to causing issues with your appliances, hard water can simply be a nuisance.

It should not come as a surprise that the air ducts in your home get pretty dirty. The dirtier they are, the more dirt and debris that is dispersed throughout your home. This is why it's important to have professional air duct cleaning services performed on your home at least once every 5 years. The frequency in which you should have duct cleaning performed depends on such things as the number of people in your home, if you have pets, if you have carpeting, and the effectiveness of the filters being used in your heating and cooling system.

Did you know a leaking faucet that drips 5 times a minute can waste approximately 230 gallons of water a year?! If you have a leaking bathroom faucet or an outdoor or kitchen fixture that doesn't turn off completely, you shouldn't ignore it. Over time, the dripping water can corrode your pipes, stain your sinks and drain basins, and create rust in your fixtures. All of these issues can create the need for expensive repairs or replacements. If you notice water slowly dripping from a faucet somewhere within your home, be sure to call McCarthy Home Services right away for leaky faucet repairs.

If you have a clogged drain that needs professional plumbing services, call McCarthy Services for drain cleaning in Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, VA and the surrounding areas. If left untreated, you could eventually be faced with a much bigger problem, including major backups, damage to appliances, and damage to your lawn and landscaping. Drains can clog because of dirt and grime, grease, objects that fall down the toilet or sink, and even tree roots. Regardless of the reason for your clog, our plumbers use the latest equipment, such as motorized snakes and hydro-jetters, to pinpoint exactly where and what the problem is.

Indoor air pollution can be a tremendous health risk to your family; it is among the top five environmental health risks. Considering the average American spends 90% of their time indoors, your air quality should be a concern. In your home, you may be surrounded by harmful contaminants you can't see, such as dust, smoke, pollen, dander, dust mites, molds, and bacteria. Gaseous pollutants may also surround you, coming from gas stoves, vehicle exhaust, paints, pesticides, and cleaning products. These particulates can be dispersed into your air every day through your home comfort system.

If you have added a new section or room to your Northern Virginia home, or if you have an older home that does not have ductwork, a ductless mini-split heating and cooling system may be your best option. A ductless air conditioner system operates like a conventional heat pump. Instead of one large unit dispersing cool air throughout your home, many smaller units cool individual rooms or zones. They are very small, which helps for flexible installation. In addition, each zone has its own thermostat; therefore, you can control energy costs by cooling only the areas you need to.

A fully operational water heater is a necessity to provide your Nothern Virginia home with the hot water it needs - when you need it.

Humidity levels in your home can affect many things in your home, including household furnishings, skin, hair, clothing, and your personal comfort. In the winter, the air in your home is typically drier than the rest of the year. As a result, you and your family could develop dry noses, throats, lips and skin and the health problems that accompany those discomforts. Dry air can also damage your house. Wallpaper can peel, paint can crack and wood furniture and floors could be damaged - simply because of the lack of humidity.

If you have too much humidity in your home, you may have sweaty floors, musty odors, and water droplets on your pipes. Your skin may also feel cold and clammy. Excess humidity can cause severe mold and mildew growth, which creates unhealthy air for your family to breathe. In addition, this mold and mildew can destroy walls, floors and ceilings. A whole house dehumidifier can help eliminate this problem by reducing the amount of moisture in the air. While a humidifier adds water to the air in your home, a dehumidifier reduces it by condensing the water vapor in the air, converting it to liquid, and keeping it contained before it is able to be re-evaporated and recycled into your living space.

If you notice substantial backup and believe your sewer lines may be clogged, it's time to call McCarthy Home Services. Although there are many reasons you may have clogged sewer lines, trees are the number one cause for sewer line damage. With water continuously flowing through these underground pipelines, water vapor escapes through the pipe and into the surrounding soil. Tree roots are attracted to this water and will attempt to use it as a food source. The roots can crack and break the pipes, or even choke the pipes crushing them slowly to get their desired nutrients.
