"National water has done a great deal of work for us. When we bought our house in 2001 NWS installed our water purification system any water related needs. I highly recommend them & we will continue to use their services. My husband pays the bills so I'm not sure about the fees but they know what they're doing, professional, friendly & honest."

"
After receiving a proposal for remediation of two damp crawl spaces at a cost of nearly $10,000 I sought a second opinion from a highly-rated wterproofing contractor, Waterproofing, Inc., that I found on Angie's List.  Its owner, Mr. Stephen Norfolk, came out to my house, entered and spent a considerable aomount of time in the crawl spaces, and concluded that my prolem in one of them was minimal and didn't need expensive remediation,and the source of visible water in the second crawl space was likely due to a leaking dishwasher located directly above.  In short, displaying honesty and integrity, he talked me out of contracting with his company for any water remediation work because it wasn't necessary.   This was quite a contrast to the guy from a competing company that tried to sell me an expensive process that wouldn't have solved the main problem because it is a plumber that is needed rather than a waterproofer.
I can't evaluate the work that Waterproofing Inc. performs butI can attest to their honesty and integrity.  A+."

"I've used Floodbusters twice in the last two years. The first time they came out and sealed a crack in my utility room to exposed concrete. The job was solid, but the sealant they used looked a bit sloppy. I called and the same week they came out and painted over it. Now it looks good! This was in 2019. This past February 2020 I had them come out again, this time they had to remove drywall to access where the crack was. Two different men came out then the first time. They did a pretty good job. All I need now is for my drywall to be replaced and another successful job will have been done and in the books. I really appreciate this company and highly recommend!"

"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

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.

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.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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. 

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.
