Reading is a city with deep roots, vibrant arts, and hardworking neighborhoods—where reliable water keeps every day moving. For 25+ years, Dierolf Plumbing & Water Treatment has helped local families and businesses safeguard their water and plumbing, backed by Licensed Master Plumbers, Licensed Well Inspectors, and 1,000+ five-star reviews. From the Pagoda on Mount Penn to galleries at GoggleWorks and game nights at Santander Arena, we’re nearby and ready when you need trusted water quality experts in Reading.
Reading’s municipal supply draws and treats water under state and federal oversight (see the Reading Area Water Authority CCRs, external, PA DEP, external, and EPA, external). Even when water meets regulatory standards, homeowners often want better taste, less scale, and extra protection from trace contaminants. That’s where our right-sized solutions—professional water testing, reverse osmosis, water softeners, neutralizers, and UV disinfection—deliver peace of mind and better-tasting water.
Water Quality & Plumbing Services for Reading Homes
Disinfection byproducts (TTHMs/HAA5): Chlorine used in treatment can form byproducts that affect taste and odor; some residents prefer added reduction beyond “in-compliance” levels. Our whole-home carbon and point-of-use RO systems effectively target these compounds. For a practical overview, see How to Choose the Perfect Reverse Osmosis System.
PFAS (“forever chemicals”): Standards and monitoring are evolving across Pennsylvania and nationally (EPA PFAS overview, external; PA DEP PFAS, external). We install certified carbon and reverse osmosis solutions for robust reduction. Learn more in Understanding the Impact of PFAS and Microplastics on Human Health.
Hard water & scale: Mineral hardness can leave spots on glassware, film on showers, and reduce water-heater efficiency. Our tailored water softeners protect fixtures and appliances; troubleshooting tips are in Is Your Water Softener Actually Working?.
Iron & aesthetic issues: Aging mains and neighborhood fluctuations can lead to rust-colored staining or metallic tastes. Our targeted iron filtration systems and media upgrades restore clarity and taste quickly.
Low pH & corrosion: Acidic water can leach metals and leave blue-green stains. We stabilize pH with neutralizers and follow best-practice drain/air-gap standards—see Why Air Gaps Matter.

Homeowner FAQs
Is Reading’s water safe if the CCR says “in compliance”? Compliance means water meets regulatory limits, but many homeowners still seek improved taste and extra reduction of trace compounds. Start with water testing; we’ll translate the CCR, test your tap, and recommend targeted treatment for your home.
How do I know if I have hard water? Signs include scale on fixtures, spotty glassware, soap that doesn’t lather well, and less-efficient water heaters. We test hardness on-site and design the right water softener for your usage and plumbing layout.
Do you service both city and well water in Reading? Yes. We support municipal customers documented in the Reading Area Water Authority CCRs, external and private wells with well tanks and pumps, well inspections, testing, and full residential plumbing.
