"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."
"Cory did a phenomenal job, courteous professional Cory, diagnosed the problems, who are well in our water problems within less than 10 minutes he had to replace, put a new sleeve and a new pump pressure tank and now we got a clean water"
"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."
"Very professional, I called on Friday and he came right away to see why we had no water. He replaced pump and pressure tank for me. He worked on Sunday so I won't have to go too many days without water as he had another job on Saturday. He also found a couple of little leaks in my old cooper pipes after everything was replaced and fixed these for me. I am very grateful that I had to go only two days without water. He gave me advise about my whole system since I live in a very old house."

"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"
"Christopher Moore contacted me within 5 minutes of my request for assistance. Once I explained our situation, he gave me a helpful tip that resolved my problem. Fast and easy Great customer service. I will use them going forward for all of my plumbing and septic needs. Highly recommend."
Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.
No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet.
While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.
No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.
