Whole Home Water Filtration (Pro Install) in Toronto

A whole home water filtration system filters all water entering your home, providing clean water for drinking, bathing, and protecting your appliances from contaminants and hard water effects.

These comprehensive systems can remove sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria, viruses (with UV), and reduce water hardness, depending on the chosen components.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, varying based on the complexity of the system, existing plumbing, and any necessary electrical work for UV components.

A water softener specifically addresses hard water minerals, while filters remove other contaminants. Many homeowners opt for both a comprehensive filtration system and a softener for complete water treatment.

Maintenance varies by system but generally involves periodic filter replacements (every 6-12 months) and annual UV lamp changes. RenoHouse can guide you on specific maintenance schedules.

Yes, plumbing and sometimes electrical permits are often required to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. RenoHouse handles all necessary permitting for your installation.

A UV (ultraviolet) filter provides an extra layer of protection by effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in your water without the use of chemicals.

The space required depends on the components, but systems are typically installed in a basement, utility room, or garage near the main water line where there's adequate access and drainage.

If your home was built before 1960, it likely has galvanized iron pipes that corrode internally over time, reducing water pressure and potentially contaminating water with rust. We recommend full re-piping with modern copper or PEX — it's a worthwhile investment that prevents leaks and improves water quality.

Older homes often have aging foundation waterproofing, poor drainage, and higher water tables — especially near lakeshores and rivers. Solutions include interior weeping tile, sump pump installation, foundation crack repair, and exterior waterproofing. A professional inspection identifies the specific cause before recommending solutions.

Yes. In homes built before 1950, knob-and-tube wiring often runs near plumbing. Any renovation that involves opening walls should include an electrical assessment. Our team coordinates with licensed electricians when needed to ensure safe, code-compliant work.
