Laundry Notes for Austin, TX
Austin Water (City of Austin), which supplies Austin, reports hardness of about 94-107 mg/L total hardness as CaCO3 at the utility's tap sampling sites (quarterly summary). 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. Source: City of Austin Water Quality Summary, 2nd Quarter 2023
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.

In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
