"We are new homeowners and had a hole in our septic tank made of concrete block, which was sending wastewater into the foundation/basement of the home. It was my first time using Angie's List, and I would recommend Illinois Sewer and Drain to anyone. Joe and his team of experts solved our issue immediately at an affordable price. They even went above and beyond to install a sump pump in our basement to help with the rain water. Quality work!!"

"Excellent work. The same day that my 40 gallon Whirlpool hot water heater stopped working I was able to have Four Seasons install a new Rheem (short) 40 gallon hot water heater."

"It took research & creativity to solve our water softener problem. Was told by 3 plumbers it could not be accomplished w/o installing in the dining room! Water Pros found a compact unit that was installed in my kitchen & has been working beautifully!"

"Mark installed an osmosis system and troubleshooted my old water softener. Turns out, I didn't need a new system. Culligan waters wanted to sell me parts costing more than a new softener. Very reasonably priced and professional."

"Water was accumulating in the base of our dishwasher and some leaked out of the dishwasher onto the floor. We thought the drain was clogged and called Park Ridge Appliance Service. Nick called back and set up an appointment for the next day. He called that day to let us know that he could come earlier than our appointment time, which was even better for us. Nick and his assistant arrived shortly following the call and quickly determined that our problem was not a clogged drain but a faulty dishwasher water shut off valve. He had a replacement part on his truck. The two men quickly and efficiently took the dishwasher apart to replace the valve. Nick also noticed that the wood paneling front on our dishwasher was not properly secured and fixed that too, using Bosch screws that he conveniently had in his truck inventory.

Finally, Nick noticed that our dishwasher was caked with excess detergent scaling and provided us with two packets of citric cleaner which worked wonders on cleaning the dishwasher interior. He also recommended that we change the type of detergent to prevent such buildups in the future.

Our dishwasher now works very well and our dishes and glasses are sparkling like when the machine was new. My wife was so pleased, she had to call Nick to express our thanks again for doing such a great job.

NIck is a highly knowledgeable, efficient, and professional serviceman. He is punctual and courteous and has our highest recommendation."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.
