"Absolutely the worst experience with a plumber! Had them come out to give an estimate on moving a drain for a bathroom remodel. That tech did a great job. Quoted us a fair price to come back and do the finishing work on our shower and sink. That's where the nightmare starts. They sent a totally incompetent plumber in his place, claimed he couldn't do the work, because he was afraid of cracking our tile. He sat around for hours at our house trying to figure out how to put the shower head in. He had to call two other experienced plumbers to get it hooked up. Fast forward to today- first time using the shower the valve only goes from scalding hot to ice cold. Sink fixtures leaking into the bottom of the vanity. Same guy comes back out and says we have a faulty valve. we go the same day to get a new valve- they return again saying it still doesn't work- instead quotes us an extra 800 dollars to get it to work- We kicked them out- will hire someone else- What a joke"

No matter what your plumbing or sewer needs are, you can count on Downing Plumbing to provide you with professional plumbing service including: plumbing repairs, water heater installations, plumbing installations, drain cleaning, sewer repairs/replacements, and much more. We do it all!

"A little on the pricey side but not that much more than others. Thing was, when Ben showed up I was expecting a two or three day wait but he told me that he could get right on it. Soon he was on the phone and before you know it I had more Downing trucks in my drive than a plumbers convention. The wife and I laughed that the neighbors probably thought that we must have had a major plumbing failure. Soon Dave showed up to assist with the installation and in just a few hours our shiny new tubs and faucets were ready to go. All of the workmen were very polite and capable. This is the third time that I've used Downing in as many years and I am satisfied. Thanks guys."

"Wonderful company! Last year we hurried up and had new home heating and cooling system installed just as the pandemic was hitting. The installation was quick and painless. In fact, the workmen finished about two hours early without cutting any corners. Very professional! The representative, Tom, was very personable and came out to check the finished job. I believe we may have even gotten an upgrade on the equipment. The two systems have work perfectly. The two maintenance visits were perfect as well. The workman, Tim, arrived on time, took his time to do his job well, and was very polite without being intrusive or falsely friendly. We chose Maglish because a colleague from work recommended them. And sure enough, the best recommendations come from friends. We look forward to Maglish servicing our new systems for decade to come. We will look to them to do other work as well."

"OSBY Installed a water softener system in my new home in Cedar Lake,IN and put the regeneration and overflow to my sump pump and not my sanitary drain. Their system malfunctioned and sent salt water to my sump pit which pumped pure salt water on the side of my house, killing over 100FT of new sod. When I called and told the service tech what happened, I was told that OSBY should have never put the piping to my sump pump. OSBY Came out and said to give it a few weeks and if the grass didn't come back, they would replace. After one month they said they would not replace my sod and proceeded to tell me that they didn't need my money and if I wasn't happy they would remover their system and refund my money, of which I gladly took them up on. They refuse to take responsibility of the damage their system caused to not only my, but my neighbors grass and will not reimburse me for the $500 it cost me to have my grass replaced. This is not a standup company! They will tell you anything to sell you there equipment, and wont take responsibility when there equipment that was installed wrong, make things right. When they came to pick up their faulty equipment, they wanted me to sign a receipt stating that my floor drain was clogged, sending salt water to my sump pit. A HUGE LIE!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

The best way to fix hard water in a shower is by installing a water softener system. This is the only way to truly ensure that hard water doesn't enter your shower—or any part of your home beyond the water softener. Most other methods are temporary fixes. While you can choose a shower filter, these filters aren’t as effective and may not remove many contaminants that cause limescale and hard water stains.

Choosing involves understanding water hardness levels, household size, desired features, and consulting professionals experienced in suitable system types.

Water softener life spans range from 10 to 25 years, with most lasting around 15 years on average. After the 10-year mark, you may see your softener’s performance diminish as it progresses in age. Proper water softener maintenance can impact how long your water softener lasts. Likewise, a home with very hard water or a high demand will put more demand on your softener, which in turn shortens its life span.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.
