"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."
There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.
While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.
To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.
If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.
The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.
Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time.
