"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Water Heater SOS was a lifesaver! When our water heater broke down, they responded quickly, diagnosed the issue, and had it fixed the same day. The technician was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Pricing was fair, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend Water Heater SOS for anyone needing fast, reliable water heater repairs!"

"More than exceeded my expectations. Very professional in every way from cleanliness to respectfulness. Needed a new water heater installed. Other companies wanted an arm and a leg while hermoso plumbing gave me a great deal with even greater service. In and out faster than expected with no hassles. Will definitely be giving them a call back for all my plumbing needs. Highly recommended."

"Gus at Pro Bright went above and beyond on a Sunday to detect and repair our master bedroom ceiling leak. With water to the house turned off at the street we were desperate to find a contractor who could respond right away. Other contractors offered appointments Monday or Tuesday. Gus responded that he could be here in 2 hours to repair the leaking pipe, but could have Jeff, his water mitigation project manager here within 30 minutes to assess the water damage. These guys were both so professional. They shared the process, timeline and costs, and were prepared to start right away. They promptly moved my disabled husband and his adjustable bed to another room away from the work area assuring his comfort and safety. Gus repaired the overhead leak and turned the water back on. Jeff scheduled the water mitigation process to begin first thing Monday morning. We are especially grateful for the kindness these 2 professionals showed us in our time of need."

"Very nice and pleasant service guys came to install a new water heater and took the old one out. Very knowledgeable and helpful. People on the phone are really nice as well. These guys showed up a couple days before Christmas and was able to install the same day they came to inspect. They went out of their way to find the special size I needed so that I would not go without hot water during the holidays! I live in the mountains and there was snow and they had to crawl through a small opening to get the water heater out and put the new one in. I will definitely use these guys again for any future plumbing needs!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Gary was very professional! I needed my water softener hooked up to the main water line, everything else was already set up and drainage was run by DIYers. He said no problem and ran the piping through my attic so it ended up not only working good but looking good too. Cost was below what others were charging and he came early in the day and got it done the same week I contacted them. Very satisfied and would recommend them!"

"We had a great experience with GG’s Plumbing at our cabin in Lake Arrowhead. We originally hired them to install a whole-house water shut-off system, and the job was done quickly and professionally. While they were there, the team noticed that our pipes weren’t properly insulated — something that can obviously become a real issue in the mountains during winter. What I appreciated most was their approach: they didn’t pressure us at all. They simply explained the risk, gave us the option to fix it now or later, and let us decide. That kind of honesty goes a long way. We chose to go ahead and have the insulation done, and I’m glad we did. Their team was easy to work with, the communication (mostly through text) was fast and clear, and everything was handled smoothly. Reliable, knowledgeable, and straightforward — I would absolutely recommend GG’s Plumbing."

"Authority came out to service my tankless water heater, and I?m really impressed with the experience. Chris was the technician who handled everything, and he made sure to explain how the system works and what needed to be done. He performed a thorough cleaning, checked all the components, and made sure everything was running efficiently. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all my questions. My water heater is running like new again! I?m very happy with the service and will definitely call them again for any future needs. Highly recommend!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

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.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.
