"I have been struggling with subtle leak for nearly a year. I hired Sila and Roger Amaker recommended a company that quickly identified the leak using American Leak Detector. Once the leak was identified, Roger returned to replace the faulty mechanical joint press with a much better joint connector and also replaced PRV from the main water feed. HE DOES EXCELLENT WORK!! He is professional and extremely competent. I would definitely hire him again!!!"

"Mike and his son, Ray, run a good family business.  I have found them helpful, responsive and trustworthy in their recommendations about what I need to do vs. can save money on. I really appreciated that Mike called me on a Sunday to provide advice on purchasing a good quality toilet (from Home Depot, so he had no incentive to steer me one way or the other), which his son Ray installed the next day.  Both Mike and Ray take the time to explain the services they are providing AND they give new home-owners good tips on repairs we can do ourselves - which cuts into their business but makes me very willing to call back when I really need help.  I did have one service that needed a follow-up appointment because something didn't quite work right (hot water wasn't flowing properly to the newly installed shower head), but I appreciated that Ray came back out the next business day and fixed the issue free of charge.

"Steve Norfolk (owner) returned my call quickly, came out to inspect my basement within 24 hours and gave me an estimate that was significantly less then another "national" provider.  He got me on his schedule promptly and his crew came out on time, performed the work, cleaned up after themselves and I have not had a water problem since that time.

"Having had considerable basement issues with water I utilized the services of FloodBuster's to assist in waterproofing and correcting my problem. With a major iron ore issue we we're finally able to install a system that allowed for cleanout and maintenance and prevent the continual flooding and water damage that I had experienced. While this was a challenging process and required a few corrections Floodbuster's worked with us along the way providing quality work at times below cost corrections to ensure that my waterproofing challenges were complete. I would recommend them especially in challenging situations."

"I have used Roy for three items, the latest being a hot water heater replacement (mine had a super vent, hence the higher cost). I first used Roy for a subpump emergency a few years ago. He came out the same day, actually at night with little notice. He replaced the subpump quickly and professionally. Based on the great service and price fro the subpump we have used Roy for other household repair, such as clogged toliets, clogged kitchen sink etc...I highly recommend Roy and AABCO."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.
