  • What are PFAS and why are they a concern in drinking water?

    PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are man-made chemicals used in various products. They're referred to as 'forever chemicals' due to their persistence in the environment. When present in drinking water, PFAS can potentially lead to health concerns, making their removal a priority for many homeowners.
  • Can a plumber help remove PFAS from my water?

    Indeed, our plumbing professionals can assist in reducing PFAS levels in your household water. We specialize in installing certified filtration systems, such as activated carbon filters or reverse osmosis units, which have proven effective in minimizing PFAS concentrations.
  • What type of PFAS filtration system is best for my home?

    As licensed plumbing professionals, we conduct thorough water quality assessments to determine the most suitable PFAS filtration solution for your home. Typically, we recommend either a whole-house filtration system or an under-sink unit, both certified for PFAS removal, based on your specific needs and water quality.
  • What water treatment systems do you install?

    Our installation services cover a range of water treatment systems designed to enhance water quality and reduce contaminants. These include comprehensive whole-home filtration units, advanced reverse osmosis systems, and efficient water softeners. These systems are effective in addressing various water quality issues, including PFAS, chlorine, and hard water minerals.
  • How do I know if I need a water treatment system?

    Several indicators may suggest the need for a water treatment system, including unpleasant taste in your water, visible scale accumulation, or known water contamination issues in your locality. Our team can perform a comprehensive water test and provide expert recommendations for the most appropriate solution based on the results.
