Whole Home Water Filtration

What is it?

As the name suggests, whole home water filtration involves installing a system that filters every drop of water that comes through any faucet in your home. While pitcher filters and point of use filters are available, they don’t protect your family’s health or plumbing system the way a whole home filtration system can.

What does it filter out?

Before your water ever makes it to your home, it’s treated with chlorine by your local municipality to kill any bacteria and microorganisms. While that helps keep the water drinkable, that chlorine makes its way from the filtration plant all the way to your house. And while the chlorine levels in our drinking water are deemed safe by the government, more and more families are deciding that they deserve better than the minimum safety level.

In Florida, our ground water is also packed with packed with minerals. Those minerals don’t necessarily pose a threat to our health, but they build up in your plumbing system over time, and put undue stress on your pipes. With enough build up, your pipes will start to crack and leak, which can result in water damage and even flooding.

A whole home water filtration system takes care of both of these problems. It filters out all minerals and chemicals that are in our water, whether they were put their on purpose or not. This means your family is drinking, bathing, and brushing their teeth with water that is as clean as possible.

Why choose a whole home filtration system?

As stated above, there are other solutions like pitcher filters and point of use tap filters. However, these pose two problems. First, they don’t protect your plumbing system like the whole home filter does. Remember, all those minerals in our ground water travel all the way through your pipes before hitting the point of use filter. That means that while your drinking water may be cleaner, you’re still putting your plumbing system at risk of stress caused from mineral buildup.

Second, because they only purify water at one location, you’re still bathing and brushing your teeth with water that’s been laced with chemicals (some of which have even been linked to cancer.) Your family will still be showering in water rife with chlorine and rock, which is still jeopardizing their health.

Water On the Floor Around My Toilet, Leaking At the Base? Wimpy’s Will Find the Problem.

Water on the floor around my toilet or leaking at the base. Wimpy’s will find the problem.  Many customers have called us with this fairly common plumbing problem in Sarasota, Florida.  As your Local Sarasota Plumber, Wimpy’s is the expert in finding out why you are having water on the floor around your toilet or why it is leaking at the base.  It is usually not the same problem in each case.  I once knew a Plumber in Sarasota who saw water around the base of the toilet and just replaced the toilet.  Come to find out it was just a simple washer that he could of tightened.  At our Plumbing Company we have been honest with our customers since 1973.  I remember what my Dad, Wimpy, told me back then, …treat people like you want to be treated, be honest and look out for their best interest.  To this day that has worked for us.  It seems people just want the truth.

If you find water on the floor around your toilet, try to determine if is only coming when you flush the toilet or does the water spot just keep getting larger and larger.  Always feel for the leak on a toilet from the top down, since water will follow gravity.  You can even use dry toilet paper to locate the where the water is coming from.

However, if you just want it fixed once and for all, the only thing you need to do is pick up the phone or tap a few keys and Wimpy’s will be there for you.  We have professional Plumbers, who show up on time that are clean, courteous and above all, Honest.  We will let you know if it is a simple tightening of a bolt or if it is more involved.  We want to earn your trust.  We do that today, so we can be here tomorrow.

My Sink is Clogged Up, What should I Do?

My sink is clogged up, what should I do?  This type of call comes into every Plumbers office on a daily occurrence.  Sometimes it is the kitchen sink and one side of it drains, but the other side does not.  Other times it may be the bathroom sink that is clogged up or does not drain well.

My sink is clogged up, what should I do?  This is how it is explained to the customer service representative who answers the phone.  First thing to do is to determine which sink in the house they are referring too.  As our office asks questions like, how long has this been happening, which sink is it it, how old is the house, what have you tried to unclog the sink with, is this a re-occurring problem?  This is all helpful information a Professional Plumber would like to know if possible.

My sink is clogged up, what should I do?  Depending on the answers to the above  questions, it can and will help determine the course of action our Florida State Certified licensed plumbers will take to unstop your clogged sink.  Sometimes theses clogged sinks can be a minor plumbing problem or they can turn into major plumbing repairs.  It is best to have a Professional Plumber evaluate your particular situation.  Unclogging a drain with a snake can turn into a nightmare quickly for a homeowner trying to unstop their own drain line.

Wimpy’s Plumbing & Air has been unclogging sinks, tubs and toilets for the past forty three years in Sarasota, Florida.  And a whole lot of those clogs were attempted by the handyman or the homeowner.  We have saved our customers quite a bit of money by having the latest equipment and the newest technology to get them out of a jamb, such as when they get a snake or cable stuck in the drain.

Unclogging a sink should not be on the “honey dew” list.  This should be left to the professional at Wimpy’s.  Call or visit our website to schedule an appointment about your clogged sink.  Find out why our customers they Love Their Plumber!

Our Plumbers are Cheap, Honest, Professional, Experienced, Clean cut and Dependable.

Plumbers. When you need a plumber, you want one that will be cheap, honest, professional, experienced, clean cut and dependable, right?  And don’t you want the Plumber coming to your house to be someone that your afraid to let in your front door?  You need to ask yourself, would I be okay in recommending this Plumbing Company or guy they sent, to my Mom, Sister or close friend?

If you were not impressed with the firm you choose and they sent you someone really scary looking or you perceived the impression that he didn’t know what he was doing, then I know that you didn’t call Wimpy’s Plumbing & Air.  Sometimes it is really hard for a Plumbing Company in Sarasota or Bradenton to give you all of the qualifications you desire, but some people are just hung up on price alone.

If you haven’t maintained the plumbing in your home, then it will probably cost more to fix something. It’s like going to the dentist every 20 years.  Since you did not maintain with regular check ups, the Dentist found a whole lot of things wrong with your teeth.  And then you say, boy that Dentist was expensive.

Plumbers are the same way.  Like your teeth, if you don’t maintain your plumbing system with regular check ups, then it will be more expensive when you call with a plumbing problem.  At Wimpy’s, our employees, from our office staff to our licensed plumbers will give you that great first impression.  From then on we will only exceed you expectations!  We want to be referred to your Mom, Sister and close friend.  We want you to mean it when you quote our web site address; Loveyourplumber.com.

We stand behind everything we do. That’s why our middle name is Dependable.  That’s how we have stayed in the Plumbing business under the same owner in Sarasota for over 43 years.  You need to find out why people LoveTheir Plumber!  Call today for plumbing today. 941-322-1911.
