Water Systems We Install in Your Home
Every system is installed by a licensed Wisconsin plumber who connects it to your home's water line, drain and power the way the manufacturer calls for. If a tank, a valve ceramic disc or a dry mechanical part ever fails, lifetime coverage applies, and a reverse osmosis unit has 1 year of coverage, with filters excluded. Tell us what you're noticing, such as chalky crust on fixtures, coffee that tastes like a pool or rust-colored rings from a well, and we'll point you to the system that fits.
Water Softeners
Softener installs sized to your household's water use, with clear quotes, tidy plumbing, and help documenting any leak damage from an old unit.
Reverse Osmosis
An under-sink reverse osmosis system gives your kitchen its own faucet for drinking and cooking water, with fewer dissolved solids and less chlorine taste.
Whole-Home Filtration
A filter on your main water line that cuts chlorine taste, odor and sediment at every faucet, shower and appliance in your home.
Well Water Treatment
Equipment for private wells that clears iron stains, sulfur smell, grit and hardness, chosen from what your lab report shows.
Why Neighbors Call Us First
Picking water equipment shouldn't feel like surviving a sales pitch. Here's how we keep it fair and easy on you.
- A quote with room to think
- We write out the equipment, the plumbing labor and the installed total. That quote holds for 30 days, so nobody is rushing you. Even after you sign, you have three business days to cancel if it no longer feels right.
- Payment after the work
- Full payment is due at the completion of the install, not before. If you'd like monthly payments instead, financing through U.S. Bank Avvance is available on approved credit. We'll explain how it works over the phone.
- Records for a leak claim
- Aging softener tanks and filter housings can crack, and a finished basement may take the hit. When we find a failed unit, we photograph it and note what we saw, giving you something clear to pass to your insurance company. We can't speak for your policy or act as an adjuster, but we can help you explain what happened.
- Equipment sized to the problem
- Many homes only want better water at the kitchen tap, and an under-sink reverse osmosis unit handles that well. We'll say so plainly rather than push a bigger system you'd be paying for over years.
- Care inside your home
- Floors along our path get covered, the work area stays neat and we haul the old equipment away. What you should notice afterward is the water, not us.
Towns We Serve
Our home base is St. Francis, and our installs reach homes across Cudahy, South Milwaukee, West Milwaukee, Milwaukee, West Allis, Oak Creek, Greenfield, Franklin, Whitefish Bay and Greendale. Homeowners on municipal water tend to ask us about softeners, drinking water under the sink or filtering the whole house. Families with a private well usually want help with iron, sediment or a smell that comes and goes.

How an Install Comes Together
Once the plan is settled, most jobs wrap up in one visit. Here's how things go from your first call.
- 1
We start by listening
Let us know what's bugging you about the water in your home and where any current equipment sits. We'll answer your questions on systems and financing, then pick a time to look at the space.
- 2
We look over your space
We check the main line, drain, outlet and any older equipment. If there's already been a leak, we snap photos and jot notes that you can keep for your insurer.
- 3
You get the quote in writing
The quote names the equipment and describes the work. It's good for 30 days, and signing still leaves you three business days to back out.
- 4
Install day
We lay down floor protection, connect the system, program it for your water and household and run it to check for drips. Before leaving, we show you how to add salt or swap a filter.
- 5
Pay when it's finished
Full payment comes due once the system is running and the work is complete. If you went with financing, U.S. Bank Avvance handles that side.
What Shapes the Price of a System
Neighbors with similar houses can still get quotes that look nothing alike. What you pay depends on the equipment, the spot it goes into and the plumbing needed to hook it up correctly. We walk you through every line before you commit.
Quotes are free, written out and good for 30 days. Give us a call to go over the numbers and hear how financing through U.S. Bank Avvance might work for your budget.
- Which system, and how big
- Putting a reverse osmosis unit under the kitchen sink is a lighter job than adding a whole-home filter or a softener. Softeners and well equipment are matched to your household's daily water use and what's in the water, and more capacity means more resin or media.
- The install location
- The equipment needs flat floor near the main line, a drain for brine or backwash and a power outlet. When those sit close together, the work goes faster. A long run of pipe or a cramped crawl space adds labor.
- Your existing pipes
- Older copper or galvanized plumbing may need new fittings or a bypass valve before anything can be tied in safely. We check what you have and let you know up front if changes are needed.
- Hauling out the old unit
- Disconnecting a tired softener or a filter housing nobody uses anymore takes time, and corroded or cracked parts can make it slower. You'll see that labor as its own line on the quote.
- What a private well brings
- Well water can carry iron, grit or odor you won't find on a city supply. Handling more than one of those issues may take more than one stage of equipment.
Questions We Hear Most
Do I actually need a water softener?
Maybe not. Crusty faucets, spotty glassware and a water heater that rumbles are signs a softener could help. Your water utility publishes an annual report that lists hardness, so if you have that number, share it with us. If a reverse osmosis unit or a carbon filter looks like the better fit, we'll tell you.
How is reverse osmosis different from whole-home filtration?
Reverse osmosis sits under the kitchen sink and treats the water you drink and cook with, delivered through its own small faucet. Whole-home filtration is plumbed into the main line, so every tap and shower gets filtered, usually to cut chlorine taste and smell or sediment. Plenty of homes are happy with one, and some choose both.
My old softener leaked into the basement. Can you help with the insurance claim?
We can help you build a record of it. We photograph the failed unit and the damage around it, then write a short description of what we found for you to share with your insurer. We aren't adjusters and can't say what your policy will cover, but clear records usually make that conversation easier. Once you're ready, we can quote a replacement.
What warranty comes with a new system?
For tanks, valve ceramic discs and dry mechanical parts, the coverage is lifetime. Your written quote lists which of those parts your particular system has, so you know exactly what's protected before anything is installed.
How does financing work?
We work with U.S. Bank Avvance, and financing through them is available on approved credit. Give us a call and we'll walk you through the application steps and what details to have on hand. Asking about it costs you nothing.
When is payment due, and what if I rethink it?
You pay in full at the completion of the install. The written quote stays valid for 30 days. Once it's signed, you still have three business days to cancel.
Do you work on private wells?
Yes. Well water treatment is one of the four services we offer, and the setup is planned around what your well is actually doing, like iron stains, sediment or a rotten-egg smell.
A Small Company That Answers Its Own Phone
We are a local water treatment company serving St. Francis and the neighboring communities along the lakeshore and inland. Our work is simple to describe: we put the right equipment in your home, connect it properly and explain how to look after it.
We started paying close attention to the paperwork side after seeing how many homeowners first call us standing in a wet basement. A burst softener tank or a cracked filter bowl is stressful enough. Having photos and a written description of the failure on hand makes the conversation with your insurer more straightforward, so we take that step whenever we find damage.
We would rather lose a sale than sell you something your water does not need. That is how we hope to earn the next call from your neighbors.
