Eco-Friendly Water Treatment, Filtration & Plumbing Services in Howell, MI

We value our local customers

For over 80 years, CGC Home Services has provided residential and commercial water treatment services to the community in Howell, Michigan. We don’t just treat water — we transform it. As an authorized independent Kinetico® dealer, we understand the unique water quality challenges facing residents. We offer solutions for every need.

Comprehensive Water Treatment and Filtration Services

Howell’s potable water meets federal standards but contains treatment chemicals such as chlorine and chloramines, along with minerals that create hardness issues throughout homes. Many homeowners choose in-home water treatment to remove these substances and enjoy cleaner water for drinking, cooking and daily use:

Reverse osmosis systems: Filter up to 99% of dissolved contaminants from your drinking water with reverse osmosis systems, removing chlorine, fluoride, PFAS, arsenic, chloramines, lead and other contaminants to deliver exceptional taste and quality. Reduce lead and other unwanted substances in your Michigan water.

Water softeners: Water softeners can combat hard water minerals that cause dry skin, soap scum and spotty dishes. Hard water can also be rough on appliances.

UV disinfection systems: With ultraviolet (UV) disinfection systems, you get advanced protection for safer, bacteria-free water.

Carbon filters: Cities make impressive efforts to deliver water to so many people. To further enhance the water quality at home, consider carbon filters. They're great at removing chemicals like chloramines, chlorine and fluoride, which significantly improve the water's taste and odor.

Iron filtration: Iron filtration systems target and remove iron from water supplies.

We begin each water treatment with a complimentary water test. This analysis reveals exactly what’s affecting your water quality, allowing our team to recommend the ideal Kinetico system for your household size, budget and specific concerns. Watch for common signs that indicate water treatment needs, such as dishes with spots or film, skin feeling dry or itchy after bathing, rust-colored stains on fixtures or water with an unpleasant taste or odor.

Google Excellent

Very friendly and efficient! Answered all my questions! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Kade came out because our water pressure was low and water was a little hard. He fixed everything up and since I had had service recently, there was no charge. CGC is so great to work with. They are so nice. I highly recommend.

He kept me apprised of his ETA, was friendly and worked quickly & efficiently.

⭐ 1/5 — If zero stars were an option, I would give zero. I am writing this review after receiving no response or follow-up from CGC Water Treatment regarding several serious, unresolved issues. System failure: Our water treatment system experienced a major failure within the first year. Misleading product information: At installation, I specifically asked whether I could continue using standard filters and was told by the installer that I could. I later discovered that the system requires expensive proprietary filters. These filters were also presented as reusable/washable, but I found them extremely difficult and time-consuming to clean. Billing issue: A $50 coupon I presented when purchasing filters was never applied to my balance. Despite multiple emails detailing these issues, CGC has provided absolutely no support, response, or attempt to resolve the situation. Due to their complete lack of communication, I am now moving forward with formal complaints to the Better Business Bureau and the Michigan Attorney General's Office. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for their water treatment needs.

Came out right away and did a good job.

Jason is outstanding.

We called this company to replace the expansion tank on our well-pump system. The technician insisted they would install only a fiberglass tank. Eventually, they agreed to install a steel tank if we purchased it ourselves—which we did, for about half the price. The tank is located in a laundry room, not a basement or wet environment. The installation was completed on Friday and cost just shy of $1,400. I was out of town and unable to handle the work myself, so we reluctantly accepted the price. By Saturday, just 24 hours after the Friday close of business, one of the newly connected pipes burst, spraying pressurized water inside the house. Thankfully, we shut off the water within minutes. The company advertises emergency service on its website, so I called immediately. An AI voice collected my information and promised someone would be in touch. Four calls and almost 14 hours later, we never heard from an actual person but we were able to book an appointment on the website for Monday. At first, the earliest we could book was Wednesday, but we managed to negotiate our “emergency” down to only two days without water. Apparently, their emergency service consists of an AI answering the phone and offering emotional support while your house floods. We ultimately found another company that came out and repaired the burst pipe the same day. That was fortunate, because waiting until Monday, or Wednesday, without running water was not especially appealing. Oddly enough, the technician showed a highly corroded piece of steel pipe thread into a brittle and cracked pvc connection at the exact connection point to the tank. I guess that inspecting the connecting pipe was a little much. From the insistence on the more expensive tank, to the nearly $1,400 installation, to the pipe failing the next day, to the nonexistent weekend emergency response, this experience was unacceptable from start to finish. I would not recommend this company to anyone. One star, only because Google has not yet introduced negative numbers. Please, for the love of all things Holy, do not use this company. They basically took a donation of over a $1000 and made our plumbing issue worse.

Very professional and informative.

Ronnie was courteous, knowledgeable to recheck repairs on Thursday last wk

CGC did an amazing job with our water softener installation. Joseph was fast friendly and left our home clean! We are super happy!

Justin is the consummate professional. Thorough, knowledgeable, and congenial. I trust him with the work that we need done. I've requested him by name in the past and will do so in the future. On top of everything else, he's a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps. Doesn't get any better than that! Thank you Justin!

Justin and Jordan were great, and we are anxiously awaiting them to complete the work we discussed.
