"As we all know hot water is a necessity especially when it comes to bathing children or other needs. I found the water heater wizard on Yelp because of there reviews and was impressed by how fast the technician was responded to my plumbing issue with no hot water. He gave me a few options and I decided to go with a tankless water only because there was a rebate and endless hot water. The wizard got right to it and had me and my family up in running with hot water within a few hrs. Thank you to the wizard for working your magic on meeting our needs! Highly recommended and a continuing customer"

"Installation went smoothly. I've had the system for about 5 years and I recommend it highly. The water tastes great. We don't buy water anymore. Our pipes are protected from mineral buildup. Very pleased with our purchase."

"I used Riviera Plumbing to replace a functioning, but very old, water heater and received outstanding service from the owner, Cuyler Kittle, and his very capable assistant, Raphael. Cuyler was quick to respond to my messages, arrived on time as promised, did an inspection the day before to go over the project with me and explain all the details and the advantages of the brand of water heater he used (Bradford-White), and then performed the job itself quickly and efficiently, leaving the area clean and neat. Furthermore, they came back the following day to try and fix blockage I had in a 50' drain pipe that siphoned rain water from my gutters out to the street. They worked their rears off trying to get the pipe clear, and after 3 hours of hard labor finally achieved success. The total cost for these two jobs was quite reasonable. Another plus is that they are friendly and have a fine sense of humor as they work. I HIGHLY recommend Cuyler and Riviera Plumbing and will be happily using them for all my future plumbing needs."

"On July 19, 2019 Richco repaired a corroded water inlet pipe where it enters through a stucco wall. This included replacing pipe in the wall and shut-off valves for a nearby sink. New supply hoses were included. The technician, Fernando, produced excellent results to my complete satisfaction."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.

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.

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.

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

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.
