Commercial laundry repair is a narrower field than home appliance repair, and not every company that fixes a home washer takes on coin-op or on-premise laundry equipment.

What Philadelphia Owners Should Know
Philadelphia Water Department, which supplies Philadelphia, reports hardness of moderately hard to hard depending on the treatment plant: roughly 100 ppm (Baxter), about 130 ppm (Belmont) and about 150 ppm (Queen Lane) as calcium carbonate. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
