"Was surprised to get a response as quickly as I did. Even more surprised that he was able to complete the job the next day. Plumbers in this area are few and far between. We have a lot of iron in our water so this system has a third tank that addresses this issue instead of a small filter that we had to replace quite frequently."

"I took advantage of Angie's List free home inspection for mold and water. Paul was to arrive at noon and called and asked if he could arrive at 11:30 which was fine. My husband and I were both home for the inspection and boy did we learn a lot. We felt that Paul was very knowledgeable. He reassured us that we don't have a big mold problem. He also gave us a list of things that we could do to improve the humidity and keep our basement from forming a mold problem in the future.   We've already completed all but one of Paul's recommendations. This company also does air duct cleaning which is why I initially joined Agie's List.  There are tons of scams out there regarding air duct cleaning. I wanted to find a reputible company to provide this service.  After working through the mold inspection with Paul, we feel that Absolute Clean will provide us with a good air duct cleaning. We plan to schedule that with them very soon.

"Initially, it went well. But I didn’t know what I didn’t know. The diagnosis of the problem was incomplete. Two large basement wall cracks (clearly visible at the time because wet dry wall had been removed) also contributed to the water issues and they were never discussed. In the fall of 2017, I came home from an overseas trip to find 2 inches of mud in my basement which had poured in over the drain tile installed by PermaJack. I reached out to the company a couple of times and was told I would be contacted the next week for an inspection. But this never happened. On the advice of my real estate agent, I turned to a different company for an inspection. The cracks were clearly diagnosed as a major issue. And when the drain tile/sump pump system installed by PermaJack was inspected, it was found that the drain tile was improperly installed. The pipe laying in the drain tile reservoir was twisted so that only a third of the holes in the pipe would even come into contact with water at any one time. In other words the system was easily overwhelmed and shouldn’t have been. In addition, the system should have been installed under the sill, the wooden board I left in place after ripping out the dry wall. Because it was installed in front of the sill, it never came into contact with the corner of the foundation and water could easily come into the basement over the drain tile. I realize at the time of the installation there was lots of water damage throughout St. Louis from the massive spring storm. But in retrospect, it seems like the job was rushed and for that reason it was not done properly. Also, when I reached out to the company to inspect their work, they were fairly unresponsive. They did say they would call me, but they never did."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Hard water isn’t necessarily bad for you. In some ways, it’s good for you. If you’re deficient in magnesium or calcium, hard water can give you a mineral boost that you wouldn’t get with soft water. However, this is where the benefits of hard water pretty much stop. Hard water can cause many minor inconveniences and lead to costly, premature replacements of your water-using appliances.

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.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.
