We don’t get out to Elizabethtown for every little thing - it’s toward the western edge of where we range - but there’s one job that keeps pulling us to Etown and neighboring Mount Joy: water conditioning. The water in this pocket of the county is genuinely hard. The last softener we put in around Elizabethtown was treating water testing at twenty-four grains of hardness, which is high by any measure.

What water that hard does

At that level, hard water isn’t a nuisance, it’s a cost. It scales up the inside of pipes and water heaters, leaves fixtures crusted and glassware cloudy, and quietly shortens the life of every appliance the water touches. A softener sized and set to your actual water - tested, not guessed - turns that around, and it’s some of the most appreciated work we do out this way.

And the rest of it

Hard water is what we’re known for around Elizabethtown and Mount Joy, but we’re a full plumbing and heating shop - furnace and AC installs, water heaters, and everyday repairs - for the times a project’s worth bringing us out for.

Questions we hear from Elizabethtown homeowners

How hard is the water in Elizabethtown?

Hard enough to matter. We recently installed a softener for Etown water testing at twenty-four grains, on the high end of the scale. If your fixtures scale up fast, your water heater runs loud, or soap never quite rinses, that's hard water at work - and it's very treatable.

Do you install furnaces and AC in Elizabethtown too?

We do. Water treatment is what we're best known for out this way, but we handle furnace and air-conditioning installs and replacements across the Etown and Mount Joy area as well.

“Tom Falk Plumbing has been our plumber for 30+/- years.  They have always attended to our needs in a timely manner.  Both the quality provided and the professionalism of their team has secured our loyalty.  Today we met Jim who maintained that same integrity.  He was courteous, kind, informative and ensured that no trace of water or debris remained after replacing our water heater.  Many thanks Jim!   A family owned small business one can trust and be confident in for a positive outcome.”

“Incredibly grateful for Tom Falk plumbing and their help with getting our water back on! We called end of the day which was not ideal, but they made time to come out anyways and fit us in. Within 4 hours of calling we had running water again. Couldn’t ask for better service. Definitely recommend.”

“Fantastic company! They have done plumbing repairs and have installed a new HVAC system in my house. They listened attentively to my concerns and answered with feedback and suggestions in a way that I understood the whole process.”
