1983 years of experience

Family Owned & Operated since 1983 Approx. 30 employees; 6 service trucks; 8 office staff.

"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!

We have been in business in Owensboro since 1968, We offer full line plumbing service, repair and new installallation, bath remodels, additions, walk in bathing options etc. Also we carry a large inventory of plumbing faucets, fixtures,parts,pipe,fittings, and water heaters as well as having a large selection of indoor and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans etc. We also have a large stock of hard to find items. We are located just of Hwy 60 West or West 2nd St, just after the railroad tracks at 209 Sutton Ln. Come See Us!!

"I live in a mobile home, I called Franks Plumming to install a new bathtub. My current tub had a crack in the fiberglass, So that’s the reason I needed a new one. We paid cash money when the job was done. To make a long story short the bathtub was not installed correctly. The bathtub was uneven, Causing water to sit in the bathtub to the left of the drain, also the cocking used to seal the bathtub to the plastic walls for the shower would crack in the caulking causing water to run to the floor beneath the bathtub, the drain caulking would also not dry correctly and would crack causing water to leak to the sub flooring. All because the bathtub was uneven and not installed correctly. We had Franks Plumming to come out three different times to fix the issue. On the third time the guy told us we would continue to have the problem due to the bathtub sitting on the uneven floor. When asked about this Franks Plumming told us that the floor should have been replaced before the bathtub was installed. (I know nothing about Plumming or flooring) Franks Plumming told us that fixing the floor was not in the price for the tub installation. Money is not an object and we paid Franks around 4,000 to have the new bathtub installed. Why wouldn’t we pay the extra 250 to 500 dollars more to have the floor replaced and everything done correctly. Franks Plumming would not fix the issue causing us to go threw another company to fix the floor and to replace the bathtub and make it even and not leak water. I would not recommend Franks Plumming to anyone. We also filed a complaint with the BBB. Franks always mentions they have the best customer service. Well in our case we were out around 10,000 for Franks Plumming mistake and the new company. Please be aware of Franks Plumming and the warranty they will not make good on.... thanks for your time in reading this. Sincerely Benjamin LaRue Henderson, KY"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

DIY installation is sometimes plausible, improving efficiency and reducing expenses, but adherence to safety practices guarantees optimal performance.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

Just as hard water can wreak havoc on your skin by drying it out, it’s also not great for your hair. That’s because hard water won’t rinse out shampoo and conditioner as effectively as soft water can. All that product buildup isn’t good news for your hair, which can look dull and limp over time with hard water.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.
