Older Plumbing, Sediment, and Aging Fixtures
Homes built before modern plumbing standards sometimes have pipe interiors that have accumulated scale or sediment over decades. Before installing a whole-house filter, we check fixture condition and flow at key points in the home to understand how the existing plumbing is holding up.
- Sediment pre-filtration to protect downstream fixtures and appliances
- Water Softeners to reduce scale buildup going forward
- Fixture-by-fixture flow checks before recommending a system size
