How Acidic Water Can Damage Your Appliances and Plumbing

At Cliff Cummings Water Services, we’ve seen firsthand how something as seemingly harmless as water can quietly wreak havoc on your home—especially when it’s acidic.
Acidic water, typically defined by a pH level below 7, is more than just a minor imbalance. Over time, it can corrode metal pipes, wear down fixtures, and damage expensive appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. You might not see the damage right away, but the long-term impact can lead to costly repairs, leaks, and even water contamination from metals leaching into your water supply.
Some warning signs of acidic water include:
- Blue-green stains in sinks or tubs (from copper pipe corrosion)
- Pinhole leaks in plumbing
- Metallic or sour-tasting water
- Unexplained damage to appliances or fixtures
The good news? Acidic water is fixable—and we’re here to help.
We offer professional-grade acid neutralizer systems designed to raise your water’s pH to a safe, balanced level. This protects your plumbing, extends the life of your appliances, and ensures safer, better-tasting water for your family.
