"Rich Buccelli communicated by phone in a timely fashion and arrived on schedule and on point. Rich and his son worked together to identify the water leak location, cut ceiling and professionally repaired the leak in different places including ceiling, under sink and water faucets in basement serving outside garden and driveway areas. During the contract time, Rich demonstrated compassion while speaking with me (client) regarding my home and helped make me feel calm during the process. Rich also shared his professional experience on how to winterize my home for the season and professional knowledge on my home heating system. I recommend and will hire Rich and his son for future projects including winterization. With thanks, John"

"They called me within 10 minutes of posting my problem. I explained my issue over the phone, they also had me send pictures of my well water tank and they were at my house to replace my tank by noon. Took a couple of hours and everything was back to normal. Great customer service from beginning to end, price was given to me upfront and was very reasonable. They did a great job, I will definitely call them again if needed in the future."

"We were given a complete picture of our basement issues and we relieved that we don't immediately have to do remediation but could deal with the moisture and mold spores by purchasing a more powerful dehumidifier and unit to deal with the spores although we will have to deal with where the water is coming in during heavy rain."

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

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.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

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.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.
