We are a full service plumbing, heating and cooling company. We have been serving the general Baltimore region since 2010 with seasoned, experienced and dedicated workmen. We give upfront pricing and accept most major credit cards.

"The repair went well but the price was outrageous which included a $50 off coupon. $450 for a simple repair is at least $150 too much. The provider said that their technician was here for over two hours over two days but the actual time that person was actually in the bathroom confirming the cause and then replacing the cartridge was 45 minutes total over both days. So they didn’t have the cartridge in their van, I was told it was not a standard cartridge and so Most of his time was spent calling around to see if a local parts place had it which they didn’t so it had to be ordered (true professionals would know the local suppliers inventory and not charge me time for their own lack of knowledge) and filling out paperwork for me to sign. Get a quote upfront for even the most basic repair."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

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.

It’s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it’s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair’s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.

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.

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.
