"I recently had the pleasure of working with Joshua at Diamond House, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and excellent customer service. My pipes were old, corroded, and causing issues in almost every part of my house from faucets to my water heater and water pressure. When I reached out for a repiping project, they responded quickly and scheduled an in-home consultation right away. Their team was punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. Joshua walked me through the process of replacing my aging pipes and even gave me a few options that fit my budget. If any unexpected issues came up (as they sometimes do with older homes), he discussed them with me before proceeding. This level of communication gave me peace of mind. Although repiping is a significant investment, I felt that their pricing was fair for the high level of service I received. The long-term benefits of upgraded plumbing have already made a difference in my water pressure and quality. They also provided a warranty on all of their work and included yearly maintenance on my water heater and water filter/descaler. Diamond House Plumbing exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of repiping or other plumbing work."

"Kayvan was a wonderful service tech! He was on time and professionally checked out the water heater and the HVAC system. He was so polite and friendly. He explained the need for a new filter in the heating unit and showed me photos of the unit located in the attic. He also offered to do a friendly deed for free, which I greatly appreciated, He’s a great asset to Service Champions!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

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

Some shower water softeners are effective, but this isn’t always the case. Most shower filters only filter out chlorine, not hard minerals like calcium. Other shower filters can't handle the demand in homes with very hard water. It's also important to change the filters on your shower filters. Failure to regularly swap out old filters will make the filter ineffective over time. 

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.

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.
