"The plumbers this company sent to my house did not put the washing machine drain hose back in the drain. We did laundry and flooded the kitchen and damaged some wood flooring. Contacted this company and they said it's on the plumber to fix it. I don't have plumber contacts. They said they would help me get it fixed and did ok at first. It's been over 6 weeks later and no one has done anything. Nothing has been fixed. Everyone has said, including the plumber, this was not our fault, yet no one will fix it! I've asked even for a refund so I can get the floors fixed and again, nothing. This is the company we hired and they just pass the buck. They are not helpful but nice so try to give you hope things will be ok. It's a joke, poor customer care and I will NEVER use them again and wish I could have called around instead of using Home Depots suggestions. "

JH Bollweg & Sons Inc has been established since 1926. We specialize in: Plumbing Electrical Street Lighting Well Pumps Sump Pumps Water Systems Water Heaters Softeners Filters Trenching We also offer Sales and Service. Please give us a call for your Plumbing needs.

"We were on well water when our pipes sprung a leak. Unfortunately, our pipes are under the driveway and masonry walls. So we opted to tap in to city water. John Bollweg and an assistant did all the plumbing work and had a driller/borer put a line through the front yard. They prepared us in advance for what was needed, such as clearing out a section of the basement for the work and repairing the front easement after the work was completed. The job went smoothly, much more than we expected since it was complicated. John came the day before the drilling to install the interior pipe in preparation. The driller/borer came the next day and did the underground work while John excavated outside and hooked everything up inside. The entire crew was efficient and professional. They cleaned up after themselves."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

Because it’s been through the water cycle, evaporating and becoming slightly acidic thanks to dissolved carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, rainwater tends to be naturally soft compared to groundwater, which has just been in contact with limestone. However, the natural hardness level of water always depends on where you are and other factors.

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.
