"In August 2023, I had a slab leak. Mr. Terry from American Plumbing came and did a leak detection. It was a cold water line slab leak and I had to get 1 cold water line rerouted.. Fast forward to January 2024, some tiles in my floor felt warm to touch which I knew had something to do with pipes. I called Mr. Terry from American Plumbing and he came out that following Monday and performed a leak detection. It was a hot water slab leak from 2 lines. This time, Seth and Logan came out the very next day to reroute 2 hot water lines. One to the washer and one to the kitchen sink. These two guys are so awesome. Again, very knowledgeable and answered every question I had without hesitation and without getting annoyed. This company is top tier. From the initial phone call with Chelsie (both times) to Mr. Terry coming out, to Seth and Logan performing the repairs. I recommend this company everytime."

"Ryan was awesome, and I will totally refer him to friends and family! Our pipe broke outside, and it was spraying water everywhere. Our yard was flooding, and we had to shut the water off. I googled for pipe repair, and it was after 6:00 pm on a Friday. When I initially called Ryan, I had not shared that we had to cut the water off, and he had advised that he could come in the morning. But when I told him we had to shut the water off, he said okay and headed right over even though he had wrapped up for the day. He not only fixed the issue, but he was thorough in waiting to test his work and ensure his fix worked. He then went on to show us how to turn the water off easier for the next time. He had a great personality and attitude and was very knowledgeable and effective. Other companies had quoted days later despite knowing we had to turn the water off. Ryan's compassion was really appreciated. I would Highly recommend Ryan with "Plumb Crazy" company. ð   He turned what could have been a VERY bad weekend into a happy result."

"Jared Pourciau is tenacious and skilled. He came out on a Sunday before Labor Day and worked thru the rain and heat to try and resolve my clogged drain. Ultimately, due to it being Sunday and not being able to rent the needed equipment, he was unable to remove the clog. Jared did the absolute best he could with the equipment on-hand. Going above and beyond, he re-configured the drain under my kitchen sink and properly connected my garbage disposal as it had been done incorrectly when fist installed. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of an all around handy-man."

"My water stopped getting hot on a Friday night. At that point, I go into panic mode because I have to have hot water. I wake up Saturday morning, thinking what am I going to do. It’s the weekend and everyone will charge an arm and a leg since it’s after hours. I start calling around to a the numbers I could find and get no answer. I had one last number to tell and yep, it was C & B Plumbing Inc. They answer and I tell them the issue. This was around 7:00am. They then ask, are you available to meet around noon? I’m like today around noon…lol. They say yes. As promised, right before noon they were at the door. They took their time to explain the issue and we actually talked and laughed about other things. They got the job done in no time at a reasonable cost. I would definitely recommend me them and use them again!!!"

"The yearly service works out to be $50 a month. We've had two water heaters replaced through them because of a fault in them. They're usually very responsive. I like that I can request the service online. The only thing is, I wish that there was a better avenue for emergency services. If something doesn't work right away usually it takes a couple of days to get someone out and sometimes you can't wait two days without water."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

If your water softener repair is fairly straightforward, like a simple filter replacement, then you can probably do it yourself with little risk. However, anything beyond a simple fix should be addressed by someone with extensive plumbing expertise to avoid costly water softener problems, like leaks. 

That said, even simple problems can be complicated to diagnose, particularly if your water softener is attached to a whole-house treatment system. So, unless you feel absolutely certain that the problem is an easy fix that you can take on yourself, it's probably best to hire a plumber to diagnose and fix the problem.

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.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.
