FAQs
What types of water-purification systems do your Lynchburg technicians install and service?
Our certified plumbers work with the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial purification solutions, including whole-house carbon filtration, under-sink reverse-osmosis (RO) units, point-of-use UV disinfection, water-softener/conditioner hybrids, and iron or sulfur removal systems that target common well-water issues in central Virginia.
How do I know which water-treatment system is right for my home or business?
We start with a complimentary on-site water analysis that checks hardness, pH, chlorine, heavy metals, and microbial content. Based on those results, your budget, and household water usage, our technicians prepare a side-by-side comparison of suitable systems, explaining maintenance requirements, operating costs, and projected contaminant reduction so you can make an informed decision.
Are your plumbers and water-treatment specialists licensed and certified?
Yes. Every technician holds a Virginia Journeyman or Master Plumbing license and has completed manufacturer certification courses for the purification lines we install (such as Pentair, A.O. Smith, and Viqua). We also maintain Water Quality Association (WQA) Specialist credentials, ensuring compliance with local plumbing codes and industry best practices.
Does Lynchburg’s municipal water still need additional purification?
The city meets all EPA minimum standards, but customers often request extra treatment to improve taste and odor, reduce residual chlorine and disinfection by-products, or safeguard against aging distribution pipes. A point-of-use RO or a carbon-block system can polish already-treated water, providing bottled-water quality straight from your tap.
How often should my filtration, softener, or RO system be serviced?
Most systems need a quick annual tune-up that includes media or cartridge replacement, valve inspection, and sanitization. Water softeners require periodic salt refills; RO membranes usually last 2–3 years if pre-filters are changed every 6–12 months. We offer affordable maintenance plans with reminder alerts to keep everything running efficiently.
What is the typical cost and installation timeframe?
A basic under-sink RO system starts around $650 installed, while whole-home solutions range from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on capacity and add-ons (UV, softening, smart monitors). Standard installs take 2–4 hours; more complex jobs with plumbing rerouting or well-pump integration may require a full day. All quotes include equipment, labor, permits, and a satisfaction-guaranteed warranty.
