When Breinigsville families need water quality solutions, they turn to Dierolf Plumbing & Water Treatment. For over 25 years, our Licensed Master Plumbers and Licensed Well Inspectors have served this thriving Lehigh County community with expertise backed by 1,000+ five-star reviews. From the growing neighborhoods along Hamilton Boulevard to rural homes with private wells, we understand the unique water challenges facing the 18031 ZIP code.
Breinigsville has evolved from its historic iron mining roots into a vibrant suburban community of over 8,000 residents. With excellent schools through Parkland School District and convenient access to Allentown, families love living here. But beneath the rolling hills lies a water story every homeowner should understand.
Hard Water and Iron: Your Home’s Silent Enemies
According to Lehigh County Authority, water hardness in this region ranges from 12 to 18 grains per gallon—firmly in the “hard water” category. This means excessive calcium and magnesium minerals are damaging your appliances, leaving spots on dishes, and making hair and skin feel dry. A Penn State survey found excessive iron concentrations in 17% of Pennsylvania’s private water supplies, and Breinigsville’s limestone-rich geology makes iron staining a common complaint.
If you’ve noticed orange-brown stains on sinks, toilets, or laundry, or if your water has a metallic taste, iron is likely the culprit. Our professional water testing services identify exactly what’s in your water, and our iron filtration systems and water softeners restore crystal-clear water while protecting your plumbing investment. Learn more about iron in your water and why it matters.
PFAS and Emerging Contaminants
Perhaps the most concerning issue for Breinigsville residents is PFAS—”forever chemicals” that don’t break down in the environment. Lehigh County Authority has detected low levels of PFAS in some water sources serving the region. The U.S. EPA finalized drinking water regulations for six PFAS compounds in 2024, with research linking exposure to cancer, immune system damage, and developmental effects in children.
Standard filters don’t remove PFAS effectively. At Dierolf, we install NSF-certified reverse osmosis systems and advanced carbon filtration specifically designed to eliminate these contaminants. For detailed information on protecting your family, visit our PFAS resource page.
Well Water Challenges and pH Issues
Many Breinigsville homes rely on private wells, especially in rural Upper Macungie Township areas. Penn State University advises that about 50% of private water systems in Pennsylvania fail at least one drinking water standard. Regular testing for bacteria, nitrates, pH, iron, and manganese is essential for well owners.
Acidic water (low pH) silently corrodes copper pipes and fixtures, while bacteria like coliform and E. coli can cause serious illness. Our Licensed Well Inspectors conduct thorough testing and recommend appropriate treatment—whether UV disinfection, acid neutralizers, or comprehensive filtration systems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Quality in Breinigsville
Do I need water treatment if I’m on municipal water? Even though Lehigh County Authority delivers treated water meeting federal standards, your home’s water can still contain hardness minerals, chlorine taste and odor, and trace contaminants. Additionally, older plumbing may leach metals. We recommend a complimentary water test to identify specific issues in your home.
How often should I test my well water? Test annually for bacteria and nitrates, and anytime you notice changes in taste, odor, or color. After flooding, well work, or nearby construction, immediate testing is essential. Include periodic checks for pH, hardness, iron, and manganese.
What’s the best way to remove PFAS from my drinking water? NSF-certified reverse osmosis systems or multi-stage carbon filters specifically rated for PFAS removal are most effective. Standard filters won’t work. We’ll test your water for PFAS and design a certified treatment solution for your home.
