"I wish I had had the same experience as the other reviewers. I will say that this company got me scheduled quickly and showed up on time. I was seeing a small amount of water on the floor for an upstairs toilet. He diagnosed the problem in minutes, but then pressured me to replace the toilet rather than repair it He would not provide a written estimate for either repair or replacement - he kept saying he would "write something up" but never did. I was only given a Work Order after the repair because I insisted he provided me with something He was here for less than one hour total replacing two rusted-out toilet bolts. The Work Order reflects anew tank kit, a new flipper, and a new supply line, none of which were replaced. He charged me $400 for replacing the two bolts and then pressured me to pay cash (I did not). He also told me that he provided no guarantee for his repairwork."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

It does cost money to have a water softener, both for installation and ongoing maintenance. Additionally, the taste of your water will be altered, especially if sodium is the ingredient you use to run the water softening system. Look up exactly what your chosen water softener will remove and what will remain because not all systems provide the same results.

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

Yes, it is safe to bathe in yellow water. The iron or tannin content won’t harm your skin, and soap will clean you whether your water is clear or yellow. If you find bathing in yellow water problematic, you can ask a pro to inspect your plumbing and determine how to get your water clear again.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
