Residential & Commercial Water Treatment

Fairfax County homeowners and businesses rely on a mix of public water systems and private wells, each with unique water quality challenges. While municipal water is treated to meet safety standards, water issues often originate inside the home due to plumbing materials, aging infrastructure, mineral content, or environmental factors.

National Water Service provides custom water treatment solutions across Fairfax County, helping residents improve water quality, protect plumbing systems, and ensure long-term water safety for both residential and commercial properties.

Understanding Water Quality in Fairfax County

Water quality in Fairfax County varies depending on whether your property is supplied by a municipal water provider or a private well system.

Public water is professionally treated and monitored, but homeowners may still experience issues related to hardness, disinfectant taste, aging pipes, or mineral buildup once water enters the home. Properties on private wells face additional variables, including groundwater conditions, mineral content, and bacterial risks.

Because water quality can differ between neighborhoods—and even between neighboring homes—professional testing is essential to determine the most effective treatment solution for your specific water supply.

Water Quality Factors Unique to Fairfax County

Fairfax County includes a mix of urban, suburban, and semi-rural areas, which means water quality conditions are not one-size-fits-all.

Common water quality factors affecting Fairfax County homes include:

  • Hard water and mineral buildup, reducing appliance efficiency and causing scale

  • Disinfectant taste or odor in municipal water supplies

  • Iron and manganese staining, especially in well-served areas

  • Low pH or corrosive water, which can damage plumbing and leach metals

  • Bacterial or microbial risks in private well systems

  • Environmental runoff, which can impact groundwater quality over time

Even when water meets regulatory standards, these conditions can affect taste, plumbing lifespan, and overall water usability inside the home.
