"I had countertops replaced in two kitchens; the plumbing was disconnected leaving me with no water. I needed two faucets and two garbage disposals installed during a long holiday weekend. Stan of Bay City cdrove 50 miles on a Saturday evening so I could have water. He anticipated and arrived well prepared for the task.He was courteous and respectful in this COVID-19 environment. The service was outstanding! I have placed Bay City Plumbing on my list of future service providers. Bay City Plumbing is a five stars company!"

"It went terrific, I was kinda nervous at first because my house is very old and my water heater was in very bad shape. The guys came in and did a wonderful job. Couldn’t even tell they were there and only charged me 850 dollars. They cleaned up all messes made by installation and even looked at my kitchen sink for me to see why I was getting bad pressure. 10/10 would reccomend."

"Daniel was very responsive , great customer service skills, saved us 1000s of dollars. Our septic tank kept overflowing. We had it pumped 3x in 6 months. (There's only two of us living in the home) the company we used to pump out recommend replacing the entire leech field. Cost appx 8 k to replace and get permits from a third party company. (Why can't they pull the permits themselves. Red flag) We then called Alabama Plumbimg and left a message about a 2nd opinion. I glad I did!!! Within minutes we got a call back from Daniel, we explained our issue and he said he'd be here tomorrow afternoon to take a look. He did some tests and offered a chemical treatment that could kill the roots that clogged our leech field for a fraction of the replacement. It's a two day process. Daniel came back the next day and completed the treatment then did a complete pressure test and a water volume acceptance test and my field took every drop of water he pumped in. It didn't do any noticeable damage to my next door neighbors huge trees and my problem was fixed. A win win win situation. Win 1 I saved 1000s of dollars and my field is not collapsed and in great shape win 2 my neighbors trees weren't damaged. Win 3 Daniel added an inspection "T" pipe that I can inspect and possibly fix myself should something goes wrong. Very cool indeed. I cannot say enough about our experience. I recommend that anyone with septic tank or leech field issues in Alabama or Pensacola and other areas make Alabama Plumbing your first call. Note* they do NOT do pump outs. If you are told by the pump out company that you need to replace your leech field, do yourself a favor and call Alabama Plumbing for a second opinion. They're honest, reliable and could save you 1000s without digging up your whole back yard.. its been over six month that I waited to post this to really give it time for any problems to happen. That access pipe let's me check from time to time and it is 100% free and clear of the tree roots. It's also not toxic to pets as it's underground. No permits needed. CALL THIS COMPANY AND ASK FOR DANIEL. You'll be glad you did. Steve S. Pensacola Florida. I'd rate then a 10 out of 5 if I could. They're that good! Thank you again Daniel.!!! I thank you , my pocket thanks you and my yard thanks you!"

"They are wonderful. I woke up Christmas Eve morning 2022 with no water due to the unprecedented freeze. Seriously, no water coming out of any faucet. AnB went above and beyond to make sure I had water. It was freezing cold and they were under my house fixing everything. I was so upset and they eased my anxiety, got everything working again and educated me on steps I can take to preserve the plumbing in my 110year old house. They will be the only plumbers I call from now on. Thank you AnB!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.

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.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.
