Philadelphia has moderately hard to hard water. Minerals in hard water accumulate in water pipes and appliances, reducing water flow and causing damage. Hard water used for bathing dries skin and leaves hair looking limp. Roto-Rooter installs and services water softeners, which alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water.
Philadelphia’s water supply comes from the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. While local water typically exceeds EPA standards, trace amounts of disinfectant byproducts, chromium, lead, and carcinogenic PFAS may be present in local water. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business's best possible water quality.

Philadelphia's clay and shale and Pennsylvania's cold winters contribute to several recurring plumbing problems. Knowing what to watch for helps homeowners catch issues before they escalate.
Clay and shale affects row houses and older homes with basements throughout Philadelphia. Basement flooding and sump pump failures add to the urgency during heavy rain.
