"We have been using Patrick's services since 2016 in our properties as well a relative's property. He has fixed things like unclogging a drain to major sewer repairs. Patrick is always available when we call and his prices are reasonable. He is very reliable and trustworthy, has the best prices compare to other plumbers and has diagnosed problems other plumbers have missed. I cannot say enough about this company. Definitely recommend and will continue using as well."

"There was a delay in removing the water softener due to Covid but after 4 months in hiring a handyman, it was resolved and they came out to recheck the softener to make sure it was working properly. Excellent water softener and free service on it for two years."

"Morning Crew showed up on time.  Covered everything outside of crawlspaces in plastic. Worked hard in the very nasty conditions of my "Friday the Thirteenth" Crawlspaces, removing insulation and leveling crawlspace.  Left basement clean and in order. 
Afternoon Crew showed up on time.  Encapsulated crawlspaces. 
Due to what turned out to be the fault of a very old A/C unit installation that is housed in the crawlspace, I awoke Wednesday to water in my new crawlspace.  NO WORRIES.  I texted Chuck Modica, who correctly diagnosed that the problem was probably the A/C NOT the encapsulation.  Although not at all his responsibility,  Chuck sent his partner Jim over within a couple of hours.  Jim worked for two hours, confirming Chuck's thoughts about A/C, vacuuming out 6 gallons of water and leaving the space dry.
A/C guy showed up the next day and said, "I don't know how "we" missed this all these years but..."  He installed a P-trap and problem is solved.
In addition to the vastly improved appearance of the crawls, we have solved the "stinky house syndrome" that we've been living with for a long, long time.  While I do not need the storage space, the crawls would be perfect for storage.
Thank you Chuck and Jim."

"We have a 1920s bungalow with a cinderblock foundation and routine seepage issues.  Interior drain tile was also an option but with a partially finished basement, I think ultimately would have been more expensive after putting walls back together, etc..  And, personally i'd rather stop the water before it enters the house.  I felt as though i was getting the "cookie cutter" solution from the other highly rated angies list waterproofers and they definitely like to nickel and dime on their expensive battery backup systems.  Chuck spent a considerable more time at the house, didn't give us the BS sales presentation with all of the pamphlets, gave us a timely quote, and ultimately just made us feel the most comfortable.  
The job went very well and I wouldn't hesitate to use High Tech for additional jobs in the future.  Chuck is very professional and responsive, easy to work with.  It took a while to coordinate with the excavator which is subbed out, but we were in no big rush and everything worked out great.  The job took four days.  We've had some heavy fall rains and not a drop of water in the basement.

"Totally amazing product. The first day it was installed, our cleaning lady called my wife asking what we did to the water, the difference was unbelievable. I did the install myself and Robert asked for photos during the process and walked me through everything as if he was standing in my basement. We could not be more pleased. Our well water is the standard in the neighborhood. While other people were talked into just a water softener, Robert told us we needed a iron remover from the water test he had us have performed. These folks know water!"

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill.

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.

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.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet.
