Water Treatment in Okemos, Michigan

Water treatment for Okemos homeowners

Okemos is a genuine mix. Some homes are on municipal water and some are on private wells, sometimes on neighboring streets, and the right system is completely different depending on which one you have.

On municipal water, we are usually addressing chlorine taste and odor plus hardness. On a private well, we are looking at iron, sulfur, manganese, hardness and sediment. That is why every visit in the Greater Lansing area starts with testing the water in your specific home rather than assuming anything from the address.

Common complaints we treat around Okemos

• City Water Treatment — Municipal water arrives treated and tested.
• Well Water Treatment — If you are on a private well, nobody is treating your water before it reaches the house.
• Water Softeners — Hard water is the most common water complaint in Michigan, on wells and on city water alike.
• Iron Stains — Orange or rust-colored staining in toilets, tubs, sinks and laundry is the calling card of iron.
• Rotten Egg / Sulfur Smell — If your water smells like rotten eggs, especially on the hot side, you are almost certainly dealing with hydrogen sulfide.
• Reverse Osmosis — Reverse osmosis is a final polish for the water you drink and cook with.

How a visit works

1. We test your water in your home — hardness, iron, pH, sulfur indicators and TDS.
2. We look at where water enters the house, the space available, and anything already installed.
3. You get the numbers, a plain explanation of what they mean, and one installed price in writing.
4. If you go ahead, licensed plumbers handle the install, usually in part of a day.

If the honest answer is that your Okemos home does not need much, that is what we will tell you. Read more about what the in-home water test covers.

Already have a system?

Plenty of homes around Okemos already have equipment in the basement — sometimes inherited with the house, sometimes installed by a company that no longer services it. We will inspect it, test the water, and tell you honestly whether it needs replacing, reprogramming or simply repositioning.
