"The sales rep took several water testsâ ¦ The sales rep took several water tests and showed me the results. She told me that I needed more than just a water softener. I also needed a system to address the rust and iron in my well water. I did not want to spend a fortune but the sales lady was pretty convincing. The price was good and the workmanship was excellent. My water is clean again ! Now I can tackle the original problem. My toilet has bad rust stains. I will either get it clean, or replace it. I could not do this until the water was fixed."
"This company serviced me the same day I needed my hot water heater. He was very professional and arrived at my house in like 40 minutes. Next time I need a plumber, I definitely will contact him."
"Reached out to multiple plumbing companies for a quote on a water treatment system I wanted installed. Tyler from Miller Plumbing solutions came out to my house and I was blown away with his knowledge and understanding of the treatment system that would work best for our home. He left me with options and didn’t pressure me into any Avenue . I had other estimates that were cheaper but each technician I dealt with seemed to just give me a price and didn’t have much more information on why. I’m very happy I went with Miller Plumbing solutions the value of their service was well worth it."
"Commonwealth Plumbing is a small local operation. The plumber came quickly to assess my farm well pump problem and was ready to tackle the job. He received a call from a customer who had no water in the house with children. The plumber asked if he could take care of that job first as a genuine concern. My well pump is just for irrigation which is not critical compared to a family without water. The plumber headed off , took care of the family and returned first thing the next morning and repaired my system. Excellent work, reasonable price, as well as compassionate."

"We called Jimmy Perry, owner, and his wife was quick to respond while he was out on another call. They fixed us up in two visits: The first to get the burst pipe sealed and assess the situation, and the second to replace the heater. The Perrys (both of whom provide plumbing services) explained our options and the pros and cons of each. We opted for a conventional 80-gallon electric tanked heater, which Jimmy procured quickly, picked up himself and delivered/installed swiftly--within a couple of days. At the same time, he repaired a leaky main water valve and replaced a cartridge to fix a leaky Moen kitchen faucet. All of this cost us $950, which I note was about half the cost of a comparable heater we installed when we sold our home last year in the Washington, DC area, and about $200 less than another quote we got from a different local plumber, whom we did not use because we caught him making patently false claims in explaining what had to get done. The Perrys rmoved all trash and container material when they were done, policed the area, and placed belongings carefully back in the basement after moving them out of the way to make room f or the new tank. They explained what they were doing and planning at each step and were as polite and as friendly as old friends. We recomend Fluvanna Plumbing as highly as possible and without reservation.This is the third time they performed plumbing services for us and showed a consistent track record. "
"A good price was offered. Mr. Moore showed up when he said he would with advance text that he was on his way. Installation of water softener was done neatly and quickly and cost was as estimated. All seems to be initially operating well and as stated. Only time can tell if equipment is reliable so I have no comments in that area."
"He put in a beautiful new spigot and cut a hole in the basement bathroom wall, but fixed the drywall by installing a little door that gives any future plumbers access to those pipes! All of this on a Saturday morning at the last minute, so we wouldn't have to go all weekend without water! And for the much more reasonable price of $330. He also organized it so I could pay him online -- very convenient! Love, C. Wellen"
"Came out the same afternoon I called to diagnose the problem in the dark. Came back earlier then the appointment to fix the leak of the water main going into the house. They fixed the problem quickly and professionally. Would definitely use and recommend them again."
Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.
A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.
Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.
You can use a commercial water repellent treatment for glass on your shower doors to prevent water spots. Take care to only apply the product to glass. Letting air circulate also helps prevent water spots, as water is less likely to remain on the glass for a long time with good air circulation. Run your vent fan, open a window, and leave the shower door open for about half an hour after using the shower.
Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.
