Are You Facing These Water Quality Issues in Ohio?

Common water problems you might be dealing with at home.

If you’ve noticed chalky buildup on faucets, spotty dishes, or dry skin after a shower, your water might be to blame. Many Ohio homeowners deal with frustrating water problems every day, often without realizing the cause. From hard water damage to unpleasant odors and stains, these issues don’t just affect comfort—they can wear down your home over time. Here are some of the most common signs your water needs attention:

Hard Water Buildup

Spotty or Foggy Glassware

Soap Scum in Showers and Tubs

Dry Skin and Hair

Foul Taste or Smell

Stained Laundry

These common problems can affect your family’s health, your home’s plumbing, and the taste and smell of your water. A quick water test can reveal what’s really going on—and what you can do to fix it.

Reverse Osmosis Solutions for Cleaner, Safer Water

Could hidden water issues be putting your family at risk?

You rely on water every day—to drink, cook, clean, and bathe. But have you ever stopped to think about what’s really in it? Across Ohio, many households face issues like hard water, high chlorine levels, and even harmful contaminants like lead and PFAS. These hidden problems can take a toll on your health, your home, and your peace of mind. That’s why a simple in-home water test is so important—it shows you exactly what’s in your water and how to treat it the right way.

When Bacteria Enter Your Water, Your Health Is at Risk

Coliform bacteria are used as indicators of possible contamination. The presence of E. coli can signal fecal contamination, which poses serious health risks. These bacteria can enter water supplies through runoff, septic issues, or infrastructure failures—especially in rural or aging water systems.

Even Small Amounts of Lead Can Be Dangerous

Lead often leaches into tap water from aging pipes, solder, and plumbing fixtures—especially in homes built before 1986. Even small amounts of lead can be harmful, particularly for children and pregnant women, as it can impair brain development, reduce IQ, and contribute to behavioral issues. Unlike other contaminants, lead is tasteless, odorless, and invisible, making it difficult to detect without proper testing. Long-term exposure can also increase the risk of high blood pressure, kidney damage, and other serious health concerns. Ensuring your home’s plumbing and water quality are lead-free is essential for the health and safety of your family.

Chlorine Keeps Water Safe—But at What Cost to Your Home and Health?

Chlorine is commonly added to municipal water supplies to kill bacteria and viruses—but that protection can come with downsides. Many Ohio homeowners notice a strong chemical smell or taste in their tap water, which can make drinking, cooking, and bathing unpleasant. Prolonged exposure to chlorine may also irritate skin, dry out hair, and potentially create harmful byproducts like trihalomethanes (THMs). While it’s effective for disinfection, chlorine can be harsh on your body, your plumbing, and even your appliances—especially if left unfiltered.

The Hidden Danger of “Forever Chemicals”

Also called “forever chemicals,” PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are man-made compounds that don’t break down easily in the environment or the human body—earning them their ominous nickname. These chemicals have been linked to serious health issues, including cancer, hormone disruption, developmental problems, and weakened immune function. Alarmingly, PFAS have been detected in multiple Ohio water systems, putting families at risk without their knowledge. Exposure can come through drinking water, cooking, and even bathing. The threat may be invisible, but the consequences are real.

When Farm Runoff Reaches the Faucet: The Hidden Risk of Nitrates

Nitrates are a common contaminant in rural water supplies, often the result of fertilizer runoff from nearby farms. While not immediately noticeable, high levels of nitrates in drinking water can be especially dangerous for infants. One serious condition, known as “blue baby syndrome,” occurs when nitrates interfere with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen—leading to a bluish skin tone and potentially life-threatening complications. Families who rely on private wells or live near agricultural areas are at greater risk. Regular water testing and treatment can help ensure your drinking water is truly safe.

“I had a clogged main drain that kept the whole house from draining, James the drain specialist was absolutely amazing. He explained everything perfectly, he showed me what he was seeing and what I should be seeing. He gave me tips on how to prevent this in the future, he gave me tips so that I wont require further work, and he a great attitude the whole time.

“Chris Carr was absolutely amazing! My pipes had roots in them built up real bad and I was hoping we wouldn’t have to replace anything and him and his assistant and supervisor kicked ass and got my clean out taken care of and even gave us great tips to keep up on preventative care as well. He was very informative, fun to talk with and extremely personable, and even took care to clean up after the job super well! We’ll definitely be using them in the future!”

— Kayla Small 5 stars

Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic

“This was our second time using Five Star Home Care in Xenia, and they were just as great as the first. We had a clogged shower drain on a Sunday and were surprised to book an appointment that same morning! James Ashley, our technician, was professional, polite, and efficient. He cleared the drain, checked our pipes, and left the area spotless. Big thanks to Alexis for her help setting everything up. Highly recommend James and the Five Star team!”

— Susie Chaney 5 stars

James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic

“Chris did an amazing job! Our system was badly backed up just days after our home warranty expired. He and two other techs worked nearly 10 hours yesterday and Chris returned today for two more. What should’ve cost nearly $1,000 was cut in half thanks to the team’s generosity—and Chris’s hard work likely saved us from an $8,000 repair. Reminder: stay on top of roots in your lines—they can get out of control fast!”

— Allyssa Benny, Drain Diagnostic 5 stars

Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic

“Very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Unlike another company that showed up unprepared, they came within 24 hours, completed the camera inspection, found the break in 20 minutes, provided photos, and gave helpful repair recommendations. I’ll definitely use them again.”

— Randy Kirkland 5 stars

Frequently Asked Reverse Osmosis Questions

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers!

What is reverse osmosis, and how does it work?

Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that removes harmful contaminants by using a semi-permeable membrane. It works by applying pressure to the feed water, forcing it through the membrane, leaving behind impurities and providing you with clean, purified water.

Is reverse osmosis water good for you?

Absolutely! Reverse osmosis water is safe and healthy to drink. It effectively removes chlorine, bacteria, and other contaminants, ensuring you and your family have access to high-quality, better water.

How much does a full reverse osmosis system cost?

The cost of a full reverse osmosis system can vary depending on the size and complexity of the system. On average, homeowners in Ohio can expect to invest anywhere from $300 to $2,500 for installation, including equipment and labor.

What maintenance is required for a reverse osmosis system?

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your reverse osmosis system operating efficiently. This includes replacing filters and membranes as needed, checking for leaks, and ensuring the pressure vessel and other components are functioning properly.

Can reverse osmosis systems remove all contaminants from my water supply?

While reverse osmosis systems are highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, including salts, chemicals, and bacteria, they may not remove all impurities. It’s important to pair your RO system with a pre-treatment solution like a carbon filter to enhance its effectiveness.

Is a reverse osmosis system suitable for my home?

Yes, reverse osmosis systems are suitable for most homes in Ohio, especially if you’re looking to improve your water quality. Our experts at Five Star Home Services can assess your specific water supply and recommend the best RO system tailored to your needs.
