"Anthony did a great job installing a water backup sump pump and a hose bib. He was very professional and personable. I was very impressed by the care he displayed each time he had to go out and come back into my home by putting on and taking off his shoe coverings. I will definitely use them again for future plumbing needs."

"Ross from Milloway Pipeworks was really terrific! They called, gave us a fair price on a hot water heater and were able to take care of the job same-day. At a price lower than home depot or other big box stores. Would not hesitate to use them again."

"Initially the lady who answered my call goofed on two counts- First, even though I advised her that I had purchased a prepaid deal, she scheduled a salesman to come to my house, rather than the technician who should have been sent;  secondly she scheduled the visit more than two weeks away. If I had a water leak, I would have had big problems. 
When the salesman told me that he was not a technician but would e-mail an estimate to me, I hit the roof, saying that I had purchased a prepaid repair. He called Jesse, the owner of the company, who immediately apologized, and agreed to come, personally, the next day to fix the crack in the foundation.
Jesse called several times thereafter to apologize for the error, and came on time the next day. 
He fixed the crack in an expert manner and was extremely professional and courteous.
Without the scheduling problem, this company would rate an A +. The owner is a genuine pleasure to work with!

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

It’s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it’s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair’s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.
