We have a showroom located at 921 Main Street, Vincennes, IN 47591.

"Called about standing water in basement where drain is clogged. Workers used a pneumatic pump for 10 minutes that resulted in them thinking that the pipe had collapsed from age. Charged$260 for no fix. No up front cost estimate.. $140/hr labor cost. Drive time included in bill."

"Hired them to check out a collapsed line in my crawlspace. It was gross. The guy they sent never went into the crawlspace, yet they somehow knew it would cost $3500. Then they came back, and told me I needed a new main line. Ok, so another $1843 tacked on. They then, after I've signed off on the above jobs, tell me I have to hire a mitigation company to clean the crawl, so another $3000. Fast forward a few months after work completion, and now the 20% of sewer pipe that they didn't replace (but tied into) has failed. I'll never understand why they wouldn't have suggested replacing it all at the time, seeing as how it would have been more money for their company. They were horrible with communication, and have insinuated that I'm a lyer multiple times. I see they're ok with small jobs, but I wouldn't hire them to make me a cheeseburger at this point. Funny enough, my sister-in-law is having a similar problem, and I got to steal her away from calling this company. That's the price they'll pay for being as unprofessional as any company I've come into contact with."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Living Water LLC was started when we realized how completely ignorant we were about the water around us. We never gave it much thought since it is so abundant and thought that it was completely safe and healthy given it meets all of the regulatory standards. Well my friends, our eyes were opened and can I just tell you...you cannot unlearn the truth. Now we take it as our personal mission to educate and help you and as many people as possible when it comes to treating and purifying water. Water is a BIG part of your life...in fact, it's by far the majority of who you are!

FAQs for water softener service projects in Francisco, IN

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

Water softeners are worth the money if you live in an area with hard water. Hard water is safe to drink, but it poses serious threats to your plumbing system. The minerals in hard water will gradually build up on the inside walls of your pipes, reducing water flow to your fixtures. The minerals can also gradually corrode your plumbing system, reduce its lifespan, and increase the risk of leaks. Hard water also makes soap and detergent less effective. Water softener systems can solve all these issues, making them a great investment.

It’s possible to install a water softener yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Water softeners require working with copper pipes and electrical wiring, neither are suitable tasks for most DIYers. Plus, working with water and electricity together is dangerous and could pose a risk to your safety. Water softeners also need to be calibrated so that they don’t make your water too soft, as soft water poses just as many risks as hard water. Overall, it’s well worth hiring a local water softener installer to place your water softener system.

The cost to install a water softener system is $1,500 on average, ranging between $200 and $6,000. The labor for water softener work typically costs between $150 and $1,000, so you can add that to your equipment costs to get an accurate total. Your price will depend on many factors, including the following:

  • System capacity 

  • Home size

  • Water hardness levels

  • Type of water softener

  • Presence of electricity in the installation area

  • Local permit costs

Your water softener size is based on your total household water consumption. In most cases, you can assume the average household member will use around 75 gallons per day. Multiply that by the number of people in your home, then multiply by 10 (for the typical grains per gallon). You’ll get a number in grains that should help roughly size your water softener. However, it’s best to hire a professional to install your system and use more exact numbers, like your exact average water consumption per day and starting water hardness.
