Frequently asked questions
Does Valley hard water affect how waterproof flooring holds up?+
Yes. Hard water leaves mineral residue on grout faster than in soft-water markets. LVP handles this with less upkeep, while tile grout needs more frequent sealing to stay looking new in daily-use Phoenix-area rooms.
