Contact us today to find the right water treatment solution tailored to your water and plumbing needs
Water is important for daily tasks like cooking, bathing, and laundry. However, over time, minerals, chlorine, iron, and sediment can impact the taste, comfort, and lifespan of your appliances. While pitcher filters or store-bought cartridges may offer a quick fix at a single tap, they often fail to address broader water issues or specific contaminants present throughout the home.
Our approach targets the root cause of the problem. We begin with thorough testing, then recommend the most appropriate solution, whether it’s softening, reverse osmosis, whole-home filtration, or specialty media, all tailored to meet your water’s unique needs.
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call a professional:
These signs often relate to hardness minerals, elevated chlorine, iron, sulfur, or sediment. Quick fixes often mask the problem, while targeted treatment addresses it at the source.
If something goes wrong with our workmanship, we make it right—no excuses, no runaround, even if it means covering the cost ourselves.
You’ll always receive multiple options and a clear price before any work begins. Once you approve, that price won’t change.
We respect your schedule. If we miss our arrival window, we waive the service fee.
Routine maintenance helps prevent repeat issues, saving you time and money
Whether you prefer annual visits or a filter replacement calendar, we keep your system in top condition.
The plumber who came out to our home, William Gough, was personable, professional, and knowledgeable. He talked us through the repair every step of the way. We will definitely call Tennessee Standard Plumbing for any further needs.
We contacted Tennessee Standard to replace the drain pipes in our home. When they came out to perform the replacement they also checked our main sewer line, which was also in need of replacing. Patrick was able to immediately work up an estimate for the mainline repair and was able to fix…
We had multiple plumbing issues and Patrick Bordine was highly recommended. Not only did Patrick fix our issues, he shared his knowledge and provided multiple options. Since moving to TN and trying multiple plumbers, we have definitely found our “go to” plumber! Tennessee Standard and Patrick Bordine proved to be reliable and knowledgeable.
Had an overall great and professional experience from first call to get scheduled all the way to the end in getting our kitchen draining issue resolved. Will definitely use them again and would refer them to anyone.
You can call our office or send a request through the website. Let us know what you are seeing at home, whether it is staining, odors, or buildup, and someone will walk you through the next steps for testing or system recommendations.
Pricing varies based on water test results, flow rate needs, and the number of bathrooms in your home. For example, a reverse osmosis system for a single tap costs less than a whole-home setup with softening and UV treatment. After testing, we provide clear options that fit your budget.
A properly sized system shouldn’t affect water pressure. Pressure dips are often due to clogged pre-filters, undersized media tanks, or overdue maintenance. Right-sizing the valve and keeping filters fresh protects flow.
Most systems are installed near the main water line with access to a drain and a standard outlet. Softener and brine tanks fit in a utility room, garage, or basement. Reverse osmosis units mount under kitchen sinks with a small storage tank.
No, they’re different. Softeners use ion exchange to reduce hardness minerals, while salt-free conditioners help prevent scale buildup but don’t remove calcium or magnesium. Many homes use both methods for optimal results.
Yes, for most homes, as the sodium added by softening is minimal. If you want water with very low dissolved solids for taste, consider adding a reverse osmosis tap for drinking and cooking.
Yes. Hardness minerals cause scale buildup that can affect heat exchangers and flow sensors in tankless units. Softening or scale control helps protect these units, ensuring stable performance.
Reverse osmosis units can still function with line pressure, but UV lights will stop working without power. Modern softeners usually retain settings and skip regeneration until power returns. Manual bypass options allow water flow if needed.
High-efficiency softeners use less salt and water per regeneration. Reverse osmosis systems improve waste-to-product ratios with better feed pressure and clean pre-filters. Spent filters and UV lamps can be recycled, and correct drain connections protect septic systems and sewers.
Promotions change throughout the year. Some discounts may apply to softeners, filtration, or reverse osmosis installs depending on current availability. The most accurate way to review active offers is to visit our Specials page.
Financing is available for qualifying water treatment projects and is commonly used for full setups. Homeowners can view the application details and review terms on the Financing page before deciding.
