"They came to my home on Friday and the system was installed Saturday. Excellent job I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a water treatment system. I do not itch anymore thanks to the water system, Charles and all the treatment person were great,"
"Jeff was great to work with. He gave me a systematic approach to solving some ongoing water/drainage issues we may have. He recommended first and foremost fixing a number of things his company would not benefit at all from (roof/gutters/downspouts, dehumidier) prior to us embarking upon a major project. Thus, I felt that he was honest and gave answers/suggestions that weren't "cookie cutter" and had our best interest in mind. If we do end up taking on a major basement waterproofing project after doing some of the more minor fixes he suggested, I will definitely be giving him a call to have his company do the work.
"1. removed all trash (plenty) from under house 2. leveled ground surface 3. removed all insulation; tacked up all wires to roof of crawl space; treated all joists with effective chemical to destroy mold 4. replaced vapor barrier on ground 5. attached heavy duty wrap to all walls (to within 4 inches of roof of space) and about all posts 6. placed new dehumidifier in center of space; programmed to maintain proper humidity level 7. attached lighting to illuminate space. Every step of the process done by professional, competent and efficient workers with daily supervision by "crawl doctor" himself. Entire job done in one week. My crawl space is now as clean as interior of my home. I strongly recommend this process by this provider to anyone with crawl space. Price not only competitive but at least half that of others in area who offer this process (I interviewed Orkin and Low Country). "
"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."
While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.
There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.
Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.
A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.
Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.
