Your home’s health begins at the tap. From mineral deposits that clog fixtures to unseen contaminants that affect your family’s wellbeing, water quality and pipe integrity are too important to leave to chance. Proactive plumbing care not only keeps everything flowing, it protects your loved ones, preserves property value, and saves you from expensive emergencies down the road.
Many homeowners wonder:
- Is my tap water really safe to drink?

How to Tell If Your Tap Water Is Unsafe (And What to Do About It)
There’s a certain pride in maintaining a well-run home. Every detail matters—from your HVAC filters to the sound of your sump pump. But what about the water running from your faucet? If you’re like most homeowners, you rarely question it—until something doesn’t seem right.
At Stars and Stripes Plumbing, we know what it means to take responsibility seriously. As a veteran-owned, community-rooted company, we’ve seen firsthand how hidden plumbing issues—like contaminated tap water—can undermine the health and safety of a household.

5 Plumbing Maintenance Tasks Every Homeowner Should Do Seasonally
Plumbing is the silent workhorse of your home. You rarely think about it—until something goes wrong. At Stars and Stripes Plumbing, we know that discipline, honor, and attention to detail are what keep a system running smoothly. Just like in the military, prevention and preparation are everything. With seasonal changes come unique challenges for your plumbing system, especially here in Washington, where fluctuating weather can take a toll.
The Truth About Water Filtration Systems (And Why Every Family Needs One)
Clean, reliable water is something many Americans take for granted. We turn on the tap and assume what flows out is safe. But the truth is, there’s often a hidden world of contaminants and chemicals in our water supply that go unnoticed—until they start affecting our health, home, and peace of mind.
At Stars and Stripes Plumbing, we don’t just solve surface-level problems. We operate with the precision, honor, and dedication that comes from our roots in military service. We believe every American family deserves water they can trust, and that’s where water filtration systems come into play.
What Happens When You Ignore Small Leaks?
In the military, we’re trained to pay attention to the smallest details—because it’s the little things that make or break the mission. At Stars and Stripes Plumbing, we bring that same mindset to every home we serve. A small leak may seem harmless at first—a minor drip, a damp cabinet floor—but ignoring it is one of the most costly mistakes a homeowner can make.
While it’s easy to overlook a slow leak, the truth is this: small leaks are a big deal. They can lead to water damage, mold, skyrocketing bills, pests, and even structural failure. This article covers what truly happens when those “small problems” are left unresolved—and how dependable plumbing services can protect your home and peace of mind.
