Kitchen water problems we fix
An under-sink filter in Addison gives you clean drinking and cooking water straight from a dedicated faucet. We match the system to your water source and pipes and install it in one visit.
Hard water and scale
Scale is a hardness problem. We'll tell you whether an under-sink system is enough or a softener makes sense too.
Pitcher filter is too slow
Under-sink filtration gives you a steady flow instead of refilling a pitcher all day.
Don't want to drill the counter
Some systems connect to your existing faucet or use the sprayer hole, so no new hole is needed.
PFAS and other contaminants
For PFAS and other emerging contaminants, we install systems with the matching NSF/ANSI certification.
Worried about lead
Lead usually comes from pipes and fittings, not the treatment plant. A system certified to NSF/ANSI 53 or 58 for lead reduction protects the water you drink.
Buying bottled water
Stop hauling water bottles — a filtered faucet gives you clean water on demand.
Cloudy ice and spotted glasses
Mineral content leaves white spots on dishes and cloudy ice. An RO system gives you clear ice and spot-free water.

Under-Sink Water Filtration questions from Addison homeowners
Do I need a plumber to install an under-sink filter?
Simple carbon filters are often DIY. Reverse osmosis needs a drain connection and sometimes a new faucet hole, which is where a pro helps.
Can you drill a faucet hole in my quartz or granite?
Yes. Diamond core drilling is clean and safe for quartz and granite.
Whole-house filter or under-sink?
For drinking water, under-sink. For hardness or sediment everywhere, whole-house. Sometimes both.
Are under-sink water filters worth it?
For most households that drink tap water, yes — especially with chloramine taste or older pipes.
Does RO waste water?
Every RO system rinses its membrane to the drain. Current high-efficiency units send far less water down the drain than older designs.
Do I need a Addison-registered contractor for kitchen water filtration?
Addison does not require contractor registration, but trade licenses and a Letter of Intent must be submitted with each permit application. We take care of that before work starts.
Does Addison have lead service lines?
The Village's 2025 Water Quality Report includes lead service line and home plumbing information. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Does kitchen water filtration need a Addison building permit, and who files it?
Permits go through Community Development Department (Building & Zoning), phone (630) 693-7530. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a permit for kitchen water filtration in Addison?
It depends on the scope. Addison's rule in short: Addison's Building Division states building permits are required by code for all work; most applications are reviewed within 10 business days through the online portal. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department (Building & Zoning).

Yes. Our crews work across Addison — ZIP 60101 — and nearby Wood Dale, Itasca, Villa Park.
