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."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

It’s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it’s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair’s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.

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.
