Chloramine in Lake Michigan water
Many Lake Michigan suppliers disinfect with chloramine, which ordinary carbon removes poorly. We use catalytic carbon rated for it.

Kitchen water problems we fix
We install under-sink water filters and reverse osmosis systems in Woodridge kitchens — a dedicated filtered-water faucet, a certified system matched to your water and a drain connection done right.
PFAS and other contaminants
PFAS questions come up on almost every call now. Reverse osmosis and certified carbon blocks reduce PFOA and PFOS — check the certificate, not the box.
Buying bottled water
Stop hauling water bottles — a filtered faucet gives you clean water on demand.
Pitcher filter is too slow
Pitchers hold a few cups and the cartridge clogs fast. Under the sink you get a full-flow filtered tap that is always ready.
Chlorine taste and smell
If your water tastes like chlorine, an activated carbon filter makes it taste clean for drinking and coffee.
Cloudy ice and spotted glasses
White film on glasses and cloudy ice come from dissolved minerals; reverse osmosis takes most of them out.
Refrigerator filter not enough
We can connect the filter to your fridge's ice maker and water dispenser too.
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.

Under-Sink Water Filtration questions from Woodridge homeowners
Is Lake Michigan water already safe?
Your utility treats the water to federal standards. Filtering at the sink addresses taste and anything picked up in your home's pipes.
Reverse osmosis or carbon filter?
Carbon is enough for taste and chlorine, and many models are lead-certified. RO removes far more, including dissolved minerals and PFAS.
How often do filters need changing?
Plan on new carbon cartridges once or twice a year and an RO membrane every few years — sooner with heavy use.
Whole-house filter or under-sink?
Under-sink treats drinking and cooking water; whole-house protects every tap and appliance. Many homes need only the first.
Does RO waste water?
RO sends some water to the drain while it filters. Modern systems are much more efficient than older ones.
Woodridge water: how does it affect kitchen water filtration?
Woodridge's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased from the City of Chicago (2026 report covering calendar year 2025). That decides which filter stages make sense.
Woodridge contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors register with the Village at no fee; a certificate of insurance naming the Village is required before a permit is issued ($100,000/$300,000 public liability, $50,000 property damage). We take care of that before work starts.
Does Woodridge require a licensed plumber for kitchen water filtration?
Plumbing contractors must hold a State of Illinois plumbing license (055 and 058); a copy of the plumber's photo ID license is required. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Woodridge building permit for kitchen water filtration: where do I apply?
Permits go through Village of Woodridge Community Development Department (Building Permits), phone 630-719-4750. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
What is Woodridge doing about lead water lines?
Village has inventoried 10,002 water service lines; as of April 2026 no lead service lines have been encountered. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Do I need a permit for kitchen water filtration in Woodridge?
It depends on the scope. Woodridge's rule in short: Permits are required for alterations that move or add walls, and for all electrical and plumbing work (and all HVAC work). We handle the permit when one is needed with Village of Woodridge Community Development Department (Building Permits).
Do you work in my part of Woodridge?
