"On 5/24/2024 we called C& K (we will never call then again) because our over price sump pump we bought from c&k was not working correctly. We bought this sump pump 2 years ago. In Iowa we were in a 2 year drought. On May 24, 2024 our sump pump was only working about 1/3 of the time due to heavy rain. We called c&k to come out to look at the pump, they cut the seal around the top of the unit to raise the led. The problem was that the person that installed the pump did not screw down the ring that goes around the pump. WORKMENSHIP DEFECT SO TO COVER UP THERE ERRORS THEY DID NOT CHARGE FOR LABOR BUT CHARGED US FOR THE "SERVICE CALL" $$$$100 bucks TRIP CHARGE- HERE IS WHAT WAS ON THE INVOICE: "Found check valve came loose and sump pump not operating normally.

"I had no idea that each specialty from installation, drywall, tile repair and painting all had to be coordinated when installing a new shower. Herr (Rick) and (Peggy) were very instrumental in scheduling and finding a quality shower door at a reasonable market rate given todays production hiccups. I have read all the ratings, seen the You Tube videos on bathroom make overs from Bis Box Specialty Companies, and believe me you cannot go wrong with this local ma and pa company in terms of pricing, quality, and installation. Excellent job!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Water softener versus water filter: which one should you choose? If you want to remove minerals, opt for a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, go for a filter. Or, you can install both.

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

Softener systems extend appliance life spans, improve skin and hair health, and reduce pipe buildup by removing minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Yes, it is safe to bathe in yellow water. The iron or tannin content won’t harm your skin, and soap will clean you whether your water is clear or yellow. If you find bathing in yellow water problematic, you can ask a pro to inspect your plumbing and determine how to get your water clear again.

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.
