Plumber in Litchfield Park, AZ: From the Liberty Meter In

The city's permit rule

Litchfield Park requires a building permit to repair, remove, convert, or replace a plumbing system. Repairing a leak in a pipe, valve, or fixture is exempt, provided nothing is replaced or rearranged. So a simple leak repair needs no paperwork, while a job that replaces or rearranges parts can.

Hard, and harder depending on the well

Liberty's water quality report for 2025 puts the city's average hardness at 13.6 grains per gallon, with results ranging from 8.8 to 21.1. Water that hard leaves scale inside tank water heaters, on shower cartridges, and in faucet aerators. When we size a softener here, we size it for the hard end of that range, because your house may receive harder water at times.

Sodium already in the water

Liberty's report also puts sodium at an average of 120 parts per million, with readings up to 210, before any softener touches it. Because softening swaps hardness for a little more sodium, it makes sense in Litchfield Park to keep one unsoftened source: an under-sink reverse osmosis faucet for drinking and cooking.

Arsenic and other monitored items

The report also lists arsenic at up to 9.3 parts per billion (the federal maximum is 10) and nitrate at up to 8 parts per million (maximum 10), with no violations, plus an advisory about nitrate for infants under 6 months. Liberty's water is in compliance. Several PFAS compounds were detected as well, and the report provides their levels. Some homeowners want an extra barrier at the tap, and an RO unit under the kitchen sink is the usual way to add one. We install it; the choice is yours.

The owner at your door

The plumber at your door is Pavel Farcas (Paul), the owner, working under AZ ROC #150707; the company is licensed, bonded, and insured. His quote comes in writing, and if the job grows once he opens it up, he checks with you first.

The house before the equipment

A 1970s home from the Gruen-plan years and a 2010s subdivision house need different things. Pavel (Paul) looks at when yours was built, where the water heater and fixtures are located, and what Liberty's numbers show before he suggests a softener, an RO faucet, or neither.

“Paul is excellent. He is very knowledgeable, efficient, conscientious and reasonably priced.Me made a very complex repair of the main water supply to my house and did a fantastic job. I could not recommend a plumber more highly.”

“I highly recommend this business, Paul was on time, did a great job and above and to offer to help locate a part for my water heater.”
