"They are very clean, work quickly, always told me when they would be shutting off the water, and happily completed work I added the same day including installing a new shower/tub faucet system and valve. Everything is working perfectly!"

"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

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.

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.

Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.
