"Not good. The water leaks had caused black mold that had to be repaired. When repairs were completed 3 months later, the valves still leaked from the stem when turned on. It was past 60 days so I had to pay another $100 service fee to have the water leaks fixed. He tightened the packing and quoted $350 to replace the valves. Sheesh."

"Overall, I was satisfied with the service and I would use them again.

They told me they would arrive between 8:30-9:30 and they showed up at 8:45 and were done about an hour later. We went over everything I needed done and they warned me about some problems areas that might not get quite as clean as I might hope. I don't have high quality fabric on my sofas, and so milk, water, throw/spit up has left water marks on them from my toddler. They warned that the marks might still be there even after cleaning. They said the same thing about the carpet since I have two dogs. This was not my first time having carpets & upholstery cleaned so I was prepared for the warnings.

After the couches were cleaned, alot of water marks showed up and they took off $45 from my total because they felt bad. But when the sofas fully dried, many of the marks went away. The cushions looked alot better than before they started, and they smelled clean too. Like I said, I don't have high quality fabric on them, I wasn't expecting them to be in new condition, but the guys worked really h****** trying to get them as clean as they could.

I have no complaints about the family room carpet or stairs. They look great and I love knowing they have been professionally cleaned. They also moved my sofas, which I wasn't expecting or even asked, and that was an added bonus.

The tile in the 1/2 bath got cleaner. I was expecting them to look nicer than how it turned out, but it was only $20 for that room. My husband was much more satisfied than me. I guess I wanted my white grout to look very white again."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

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.

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.

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.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.
