Why Water Quality Matters 🏡💧

Imagine turning on your tap and knowing every drop is crisp, clean, and safe—for drinking, bathing, and cooking. Unfortunately, many homes in our area deal with unseen water quality issues that can impact your family’s health and your plumbing’s lifespan.

At Wyers Plumbing, we’re passionate about healthy water and helping homeowners with Drain Cleaning, Garbage Disposal Repair, Kitchen Plumbing, and more—including expert Water Filtration System services.

Let’s dive into how a whole-house water filtration system can transform your daily life and protect your investment!


Common Water Quality Issues We See Most 🚱

Whether your home is on city water or a private well, these are the most common culprits that affect water quality:

  • Chlorine & Chloramines: Widely used to disinfect municipal water, but can leave an unpleasant taste and odor.
  • Sediment & Rust: Small particles from aging pipes or the water supply can cloud your water and damage fixtures.
  • Hard Water (Minerals): High levels of calcium and magnesium cause limescale, leading to appliance breakdowns and spotty dishes.
  • Lead, Pesticides, & VOCs: Harmful contaminants that can impact long-term health and are often invisible.
  • Bacteria & Microbes: Especially in well water, these can pose serious health risks.

Did you know?
The U.S. EPA estimates that 10-20% of American homes have some level of unsafe tap water contaminants. Don’t leave it to chance!


The Impact On Your Health & Home 🏠💦

Water isn’t just for drinking! Poor water quality affects:

  • Your health: Harmful contaminants can cause skin irritation, gastrointestinal issues, and even long-term illnesses.
  • Your plumbing: Sediment and minerals build up in pipes, causing leaks, corrosion, and costly repairs.
  • Your appliances: Water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines wear out faster, raising utility bills and maintenance needs.
  • Your comfort: Chlorine dries out skin and hair, while odors make bathing unpleasant.

Real Results:
