Water treatment is one of our true specialties at Dye Plumbing & Heating. While many plumbers offer basic water softeners, we've developed deep expertise in comprehensive water treatment—particularly for the challenging well water common throughout La Porte, IN and Northwest Indiana. Since 1939, we've been solving water quality problems that other contractors can't figure out.
As an Affordablewater.us Dealer, we have access to professional-grade water treatment equipment and the training to apply it correctly. Whether you're dealing with hard water, iron staining, sulfur odors, or other water quality issues, we diagnose the problem accurately and implement solutions that actually work.
Water quality varies dramatically from home to home, especially with private wells. A one-size-fits-all approach often fails, leaving homeowners frustrated with equipment that doesn't solve their problems. True water treatment expertise means accurate diagnosis of what's actually in your water, understanding chemistry of treatment processes, and equipment selection matched to specific problems.
Our region presents particular water quality challenges including hard water, iron staining, hydrogen sulfide odors, manganese, low pH, sediment, and bacteria. Well water requires comprehensive assessment because untreated groundwater contains whatever's in the local geology—and that varies significantly even within the same neighborhood.
