Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know what we here at Easy Rooter Plumbing And Drain Cleaning are all about. I will get straight to the point. I have been in the emergency plumbing and drain cleaning service industry for the past 13 yrs. I started in one of your everyday typical rooter service companies and quickly began to realize that I loved working with people. I also realized that I was not too fond of the way the big corporations treated and micromanaged employees as well as viewed clients as nothing more than potential dollar signs. This allowed me to absorb as much as I needed on the technical side in order to start up my very own business. It took 8 long years to acquire the skills and resources needed to fully service and provide the best solutions for my customers. I am so happy and blessed to say that we now, 5 years later, have 6 full service trucks ready to serve you and your neighbors 24 hours a day seven days a week!

"I must admit my experience with Easy Rooter Plumbing and Drain Cleaning was amazing. As soon as I completed my online request for professional services (noting the urgency of our plumbing situation - both toilets down, low water pressure in some faucets, and no pressure in others, and brown goop with black specs flowing from all faucets ), my phone rang. It was the representative from Easy Rooter assuring me that she could have someone here to help within the hour, and she did. Juan arrived and quickly assessed the problem, and calmly explained exactly what was happening. He was very up-front about what could be repaired, needed replacements and the required flushing of the entire plumbing system. Juan was knowledgeable and professional throughout the ordeal. He turned a financially impossible situation into manageable monthly payments, with a reasonable interest rate, and spread out over 10 years if needed. He provided two payment options, with two very different overall costs and potential outcomes. My husband and I decided on a course of action, agreed to the terms of the contract, then we were all set for repairs to begin the next a.m. Juan explained that as the previous owners vacated the house (approx 3 yrs ago), they made sure to shut-off the main valve to the water softening system, but neglected to shut off the bypass valve. This allowed the water and remnants from the holding tank to seep back into the water softening system, then back through the pipes in the house. Certain parts were severely clogged and others damaged. Juan and his partner arrived on time the following morning as scheduled, and proceeded to restore clean and clear water throughout the house, and remove whatever was restricting water flow. The contaminated water softening system was replaced, and all new valves installed. Once programmed, the new system flushed all pipes and will continue to do so weekly. The team worked diligently for approx. 9 hours. When done all was running clear, and the pressure restored. They even hauled away all debris. My family is very thankful for Easy Rooter for being prompt and for paying close attention to detail. I would not hesitate to refer them to family and/or friends or to call on them again if needed."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

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 most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.
