"HORRENDOUS EXPERIENCE! They came out, stated my installed tankless system needing repiping didn’t have a recirculating pump built in & recommended I get one. They quoted $99/hour for labor & parts are separate. Stated there were no options for an external pump (not on market) & wanted me to purchase their system with one built in requiring to uninstall NEW system & install their system (thousands more) & stated it would require 2 men for 8 hours of work & appointment was booked. After researching, there are both universal recirculating pumps for tankless systems & the brand I had made an external pump specifically for the system I bought. When I told them this & that I would only need to have the system already in place properly pipped with external pump installed, they became hateful from that point on & demanded I had a non-working outlet next to system fixed before they would do any work (didn’t have this demand when I booked appointment with their system). I had already fixed the outlet but the lady who answers the phone repeatedly stated no work would be done until outlet fixed, even after I told her I heard her the first 5 times & would ensure it was done, she continued demanding every communication in a hateful tone, multiple times each communication. Was told I would get a new bid with their tankless system removed & labor hours adjusted, it took a week to get it & just 2 days before the appointment. I was shocked to see the bid was still high ($1300) since the system was already installed but only needed repiping & recirculating pump installed. I sent an email, I only requested to know how many hours they expected to need that day, she responded by telling me the appointment was cancelled & I should find another plumber. They cancelled 2 days before because I dare ask how many hours were needed on a $1300 estimate. Not only did they not know of universal recirculating pumps for tankless systems, or lied to sell me their system, but they wanted 11-12 hours of work (estimate not detailed so I estimated $100-200 for some parts) to repipe an already installed system & install a external pump. They are dishonest people & cancel if you inquire about the estimate which I believe was highly bloated. I will never use them again, buyer beware!!!"

"I was charged $985.00 for 1 hour of work and a fitting. I let him know I was recently widowed. After reading the Yelp reviews, this seems to be a pattern of overcharging women. He did give me an estimate which I balked about, he told me there was a lot of digging. I assumed there would be several hours of work. Nope. 1 hour and a fitting. A friend from my Church talked to several plumbers first, then called to complain. Rick told him too bad, I had been given an estimate. He should be ashamed of himself."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Established in 1979 - under the name Parkwest Plumbing - Ameriserve has grown to serve over tens of thousands of homes in California. After 28 years we are still the original Ameriserve and the most competitive copper repiping company in Southern California. Ameriserve is committed to being your lowest "qualified" bidder. Most repiping customers are pleasantly surprised to find Ameriserve is even "lower" than their handyman, given the materials we use, the wall patching, along with the timeliness of the project.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water doesn’t pose a risk to your physical health when you drink it. In fact, drinking hard water can help ensure you get enough of essential minerals like calcium in your daily diet. However, extremely hard water can contribute to dry skin and make your scalp itchy if you wash your hair in it too often.

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

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.
