"You have to know going into this that their first price is not their final price. At the end we were saying could've we gotten a better price. If that type of negotiation bothers you don't call this company. What they sell is top notch, we are very happy with the water quality now."

"Greg showed up - precisely on time, first thing in the morning, I might add - and went right to work. He explained how hyrdostatic pressure works against concrete and advised that the hole may not be source of the water after all, or at least not the only source. He told me how I could repair it myself, easily and inexpensively, with injection concrete. He was straightforward in saying it might not get the job done, though, and explained what would be involved in digging out a well for a sump system if the water returned. The estimated hassle and price was far less than I was expecting to hear, and if I need future help, I will definitely contact A Better Crawlspace to do the work. After spending half an hour explaining everything to me, Greg wouldn't accept any payment because he hadn't done any work. I was floored by his candor and honesty, It's a rare thing to find a company that won't rook you for a job you may not even need, and then walk out the door none the richer for sharing valuable experience. Overall, a great experience and a quality guy. Thanks, Greg!"

"This company is excellent. They saved me thousands of dollars on basement waterproofing. I assumed I needed drain tile and a sump pump installed since my basement flooded twice in the past few years. I got estimates for the job from several companies. Rather than trying to find the source of where the water was coming into my basement, the other companies just wanted to install the drain tile. High Tech Waterproofing's goal was to keep the water away from the house and discover the source . It turned out I had a huge crack in my basement wall. They fixed it at a minimal cost. They not only saved me money, but they saved me from the hassle of having my basement torn apart & the mess that comes with it. I couldn't be happier.
The employees were prompt, courteous and professional. They explained everything to me and never pressured me like the other companies did. I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs

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.

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

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.

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.
