"My experience with Marc at Make it Drain was fantastic. We had a problem with leakage under the house that we thought was fixed when we bought the place. Turns out two years later that something wasn't done right and we had wastewater accumulating from the kitchen. Marc from Make it Drain came out on short notice on the weekend to look at the job, and he gave me a great estimate, educated me about the issues, talked me through the process, and had a friendly but no-pressure approach. I had several other companies out to make estimates, and one of the estimates was three times what Marc quoted me!! When we arranged the job it was easy, and Marc and his guys showed up on time, did exactly what he said he'd do, kept everything super clean, took pictures to show me what was going on, and continued to keep me looped in so I understood everything.

JOIN OUR PLUMBING FAMILY TODAY Plumbing problems are some of the most common issues that a homeowner will face. Plumbing is also one job that many people choose not to tackle on their own. Sometimes a problem is simple and can be fixed easily, while other times the job may require the help of a professional. Without the knowledge of a skilled plumber, it can be difficult to know how big of a project you are getting yourself into, and it can be even more difficult to fix the problem right the first time. No matter how big or small the job may be, for those living in the greater Los Angeles area, the professional technicians of Reckon & Reckon Plumbing are there to help. At Reckon & Reckon Plumbing, it is our goal to become the service you call whenever you have any type of plumbing problem. We have been in business since the 1920's, and we pride ourselves on gaining the trust of our customers and becoming their family plumbers. Our technicians are highly-trained, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, clean, and respectful individuals, and it is their goal to provide the solution you need in the most timely and cost effective manner possible. They come to your home with fully-stocked work vehicles and state of the art plumbing equipment, which means that they will not need to leave your home until the job is done. When they do leave, they make sure to leave your home looking even better than it did before their arrival. Although many other plumbing companies charge by the hour for their services, at Reckon & Reckon Plumbing we charge by the job. This means that our customers do not have to worry about incurring costly overtime charges simply because a job takes longer than anticipated. It also means that our customers know up front how much the service is going to cost.

"Such an amazing company to work with! From my very first interaction wit Clarissa, I knew this would be a great fit. Clarissa is super friendly and so helpful while being extremely professional by answering all of my questions and concerns.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet. 

Yes, it’s fine to drink softened water. However, if you follow a low-sodium diet or have high blood pressure or sodium-related health concerns, make sure to speak with your doctor beforehand. If they advise against drinking water that’s been softened with sodium, you might be able to use potassium in your water softener instead.
