"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

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.

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.
