Common Water Problems in Brentwood
PA American Water treats your water at the plant — but what happens between the plant and your tap matters just as much, especially in a borough where most homes predate 1960.
Hard Water & Scale
Dissolved calcium and magnesium cause white scale on faucets, spots on dishes, reduced water heater efficiency, and soap that won’t lather properly. Hard water affects every fixture and appliance in your Brentwood home.
Chlorine & Chemical Taste
PA American Water uses chlorine to disinfect water during distribution. The chemical taste is noticeable at the tap, especially during warmer months when treatment levels increase. Whole-house filtration eliminates it at every faucet.
Aging Pipes & Sediment
Brentwood’s housing boom happened between the 1920s and 1960s. Distribution mains and in-home plumbing from this era release rust, sediment, and corrosion particles — especially after water main breaks or pressure changes.
Lead from Older Plumbing
Pre-1960 homes commonly used lead solder, lead service lines, and brass fixtures. PA American Water is inventorying service line materials under EPA requirements. Testing confirms whether lead is present in your home’s specific plumbing system.
PFAS & Emerging Contaminants
PFAS compounds have been detected in Pennsylvania water sources. PA American Water has performed voluntary sampling and is returning settlement proceeds via bill credits. Additional home filtration provides an extra layer of protection.
Dry Skin & Soap Film
Hard water and residual chlorine strip natural oils from skin and hair. Soap doesn’t lather fully, leaving film on skin and residue in hair. Whole-house treatment solves this at every showerhead in your home.
Brentwood’s Water Source
Brentwood Borough receives 100% municipal water from Pennsylvania American Water — the largest investor-owned utility in the state.
Pennsylvania American Water
PA American Water serves Brentwood Borough through its regional distribution network, drawing from surface water sources and treating at modern facilities. The utility has been providing water service to this community for decades. Despite plant-level treatment meeting EPA standards, water quality at the tap depends on distribution infrastructure age and your home’s plumbing materials.
Brentwood’s Infrastructure Legacy
Brentwood’s building boom followed the 1928 opening of the Liberty Bridge, which gave South Hills residents direct access to Downtown Pittsburgh. Stately colonials, Cape Cods, and ranches were built en masse through the 1950s. The majority of the borough’s housing stock predates 1960 — meaning decades-old galvanized steel, copper with lead solder, and original service connections are common throughout the borough.

Brentwood Water Filtration — Frequently Asked Questions
Brentwood Borough is served by Pennsylvania American Water, the largest investor-owned water utility in the state. PA American Water draws from regional surface water sources and treats to EPA standards. However, water quality at your tap depends on the condition of distribution mains and your home’s plumbing — both of which are often decades old in Brentwood.
Pennsylvania American Water uses chlorine-based disinfection to keep water safe during distribution. The chemical taste is noticeable in many Brentwood homes, especially during warmer months when higher chlorine levels are used. A whole-house Custom-Designed filtration system removes chlorine at every tap.
Many Brentwood homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s when lead solder, lead service lines, and brass fixtures were standard plumbing materials. PA American Water is conducting service line material inventories under EPA requirements. Testing confirms whether lead is entering your water from your home’s specific plumbing.
Many Brentwood homes experience moderate hard water that causes white scale on fixtures, spots on dishes, reduced water heater efficiency, and dry skin. A custom-engineered water softener eliminates hardness at every faucet and showerhead in your home.
PFAS compounds have been detected in Pennsylvania water sources. PA American Water has performed voluntary sampling and is returning PFAS settlement proceeds to eligible customers via bill credits. Homeowners wanting additional protection can install Custom-Designed filtration or reverse osmosis systems engineered to target PFAS.
Costs depend on your water chemistry. We test your water first, then engineer a system matched to your exact conditions — no generic packages, no unnecessary upsells. Call 724-708-8816 for a consultation.
Yes. We install high-flow reverse osmosis systems with optional UV disinfection that helps inactivate microorganisms. Finishing options include pH Boost or Mineral Add-Back for great-tasting drinking water. Customers often tell us their water tastes better than bottled.
Yes. The majority of Brentwood’s housing was built before 1960, during eras when lead solder, galvanized steel, and copper with lead joints were standard. These materials can release lead, rust, sediment, and corrosion byproducts into tap water. Whole-house filtration creates a barrier between your plumbing and your family’s water.
We start with a detailed water chemistry analysis at your Brentwood home. Then we custom-engineer a treatment system matched to your specific results. Professional installation follows, backed by ongoing support and an up to 10-year warranty (terms apply).
Yes. We serve all 1.5 square miles of Brentwood — from Brownsville Road and Brentwood Towne Square to the Route 51 corridor, Willett Road area, and every residential street in between. Call 724-708-8816 to schedule your consultation.
