Owned and operated by the Sullivan Family since 1987. We at Plumbing Solutions, Inc long ago decided to concentrate on the service & repair business. This niche requires some special adaptations in order to remain successful. Number one is the realization that we are dealing with people, not just pipes and fixtures, and that means satisfying each individual client's idea of service. We must be punctual, clean, and readily available in addition to knowledgeable and competent, and we constantly strive to keep improving in all those categories.

"Having read many reviews, and seen M.Sullivan's truck in his driveway, I thought, might as well call our neighbor's company for a simple reset of a wobbling toilet. My mistake for not doing some other estimates and questioning the charges more thoroughly before giving the go ahead. PLUMBING SOLUTIONS, INC. - DEDHAM, MA SFN Service Fee: Thank you for allowing us to help you with your plumbing project today. $149.00 TR-RESET Toilet Reset: Shut off and drain a toilet tank and bowl. Disconnect from supply and flange to lift toilet and set aside. Clean all old wax seal from flange and toilet bowl. Replace wax seal and reinstall toilet. Shim when necessary to ensure solid installation. $396.00 MISC Unlisted Task: Secure toilet flange $125.00 TOTAL CHARGE $670.00 No, we didn't get a new toilet! After a less than 2 hour "repair" and $670.00 later, we have a toilet that no longer wobbles, with a new wax ring that probably set back Plumbing Solutions by no more than $10.00. Seniors beware!!!"

"The owner Chris Lane is clearly deranged. When they damaged my tub, he made up a BS story about the tub being from the 1970s and they didn't damage it. The tub was undamaged before they worked on that exact spot, and the tub is actually only 6 years old because the bathroom was remodeled since the home was built in the 1970s. It was in "like new" condition with zero damage. Additionally, when I posted an online review mentioning another employee in the company, his daughter, he sent multiple emails and multiple voicemails to me and my wife to remove her name. This is harassment, and I have ample proof of all these communications. He claimed I was harassing him because I wanted to be compensated for their screw up. Give me a break! This guy is a scumbag, and has obvious anger issues - stay away."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

Water softener versus water filter: which one should you choose? If you want to remove minerals, opt for a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, go for a filter. Or, you can install both.

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

Yes, it’s fine to drink softened water. However, if you follow a low-sodium diet or have high blood pressure or sodium-related health concerns, make sure to speak with your doctor beforehand. If they advise against drinking water that’s been softened with sodium, you might be able to use potassium in your water softener instead.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.
