"I interviewed 3 different water purification companies, because having safe, good water is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT investments we can make in our home and for our good health (both in the short term AND in the long term). My urgent (because of my timetable) inquiry to the companies was for an estimate to install a Reverse Osmosis (RO) Purification System, knowing that was my base cost, but also knowing Iâ d inquire about the other water systems at the time of the inquiry. We have purification systems at 3 homes, therefore I know costs and some aspect of the business practices. The owners of Water Air and You, Mr and Mrs Les Strong, heard the urgency in my situation in a new condo in Peoria, and came to visit immediately. They explained that to truly purify the water, that is, to achieve the level of pure water that I wanted, the mechanism would involve 3 systems, but NOT to panic, because the price would be very good, I am a cancer surgeon at a university in Tampa, FL,, and Les and Judy conveyed warmth, encouragement, and sound information about water treatment systems. Their estimate was very fair, very comparable with what our other water treatment systems cost in Florida and in our other Home. Their company is the ONLY company that did not take advantage of our desperate timetable and needs. The installer for Water, Air and You, Phil, was just as professional and kind and knowledgeable as the owners, although his assistant was not so on par with the others. Iâ m still amazed that I almost chose the first company to respond to my request for an estimate, though it was over 3x the cost I expected for the the RO system installation ALONE. I am so glad I restrained the impulse to just â get it done.â Les and his amazing team (â ¦. ESPECIALLY Judy, his Superlady-wife) were out to visit our newly purchased condo, the very next day, and they installed the systems the following day. The professionals (â ¦ at every level) at Water Air and You listen carefully and work ever so diligently, to educate their customers about water (ie the sources of city-water, governmental mechanisms of water treatment, and why after-care of this â cleanâ water (â ¦ and I use therm VERY loosely, here) is so absolutely imperative. Les and Judy explained how different water treatment systems work and work together, to make your water safe, delicious, and enjoyable. Les and Judy entered our home with warmth, kindness, invaluable information, and absolutely NO PRESSURE, just information and options. I cannot speak highly enough about them or their company. Phil, the installer, was especially respectful of our needs, was very attentive to any drill holes and such, and he carefully cleaned up his installation debris. The company, Water Air and You, is truly one of the rare and pure examples of an honest, hard working business, holding up â old-schoolâ values, traditions, and business practices."

"I know of no other contractor who has total customer satisfaction as his top priority like Mr. Flanagan does. He is absolutely the best.
My basement sustained ankle-deep water as the result of an outdoor basement stairwell drain that violently backed up because its circa-1951 drain line led to the street storm sewer (by design). That sewer was overcome with water during a storm in the summer of 2010 that featured a tornado in my western-suburbs area. Soon after pumping the water out of my basement with a mobile pump, the mess prompted me to (once again*) call Mr. Flanagan (*His crawlspace crew had done a beautiful job finishing my dirt-floor crawlspace with a concrete floor and wall insulation a couple of years earlier).
After the basement waterproofing project described in this review was complete, however, I was disappointed with the workmanship: The concrete work looked less-than-professional (out-of-flush with sump flange and the stairwell drain, plus way too many swirl marks and splattering) in the stairwell and basement's appearance areas. In short, it just didn't look like his business's flawless concrete job that was done in my crawlspace just years earlier.
Mr. Flanagan agreed. With no questions asked, he immediately had a different crew come to my home, tear out all of the previously laid concrete and drain lines and replace it with the workmanship that he would expect his crews to use in their own homes. The re-do of the project at least had met my high expectations for its cosmetics. And, of course, I hoped it was a sufficient waterproofing solution for my basement.
Fast forward just a few short years. Affter having perhaps sustaining that 100-year event with the Chicago-area rain storm of April 17-18, 2012, while my neighbors are pumping water out of their basements, mine remains bone dry. Thank you Mr. Flanagan and Crawlspace / Basement Waterproofing Solutions for a job (design and installation) well done. Your basement waterproofing solution indeed deserves an A+.

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.
