"Able explained every part and what its performance is. I went from taking washing a load of clothes 2 hours to because of the lack of water pressure to 35 minutesâ ¦. The price is really fair !!!! I got to hold my new pump before it was put into the ground 300 hundred feet. So grateful for getting someone so trustworthy! I highly recommend Able Well to everyone!"

"Jesse and his crew came through with the best price, not to mention courteous, professional service and quality work. Our water main line was leaking and was getting worse. We could see water collecting on the driveway, water meter was spinning, and our water bill was going up by the hour. I asked if he could come sooner than our scheduled appointment which was 3 days away. He cleared his schedule and showed up the next day on a Saturday. They are the best at what they do. So nice to have someone who actually cares and not trying to sell you a whole new water main system from $8,500 - $15,000. His service was a fraction of that... thank goodness! This kind of service does not exist anymore. You will not be disappointed! Keep up the great work Jesse and thanks for everything!"

"Steve was on time and professional, and very easy to get along with. He looked at the corner where the leak is and assessed the issue and said he didn't think it was worth waterproofing it, but instead regrading the lawn by that section of the house (which was great news).
What's better is he even gave me a ballpark estimate in case we decide to waterproof anyway (around $3,000, which, from what I can gather on Angie's List, is very competitive with other companies, and in many cases a lot less expensive). But he gave tips on how to take care of the leak on our own, which will save a big chunk of change.
In short, Steve's honesty saved us lots of money, and if we ever need waterproofing services in the future, I'm going to him for sure. I highly recommend this company -- if their work is anywhere as good as their service, I'm sure you're going to be happy with the results.

"While I was out of town over the winter, a pipe in my laundry room burst during one of the many cold spells.   My neighbor called Roy Gaskins, who is AABCO Plumbing, and despite the fact that he was surely very busy elsewhere, he came out very quickly to search out and repair the 3 places where the pipe burst.   Then, a couple of weekends ago, I turned on the water to the outside faucets, which had been closed since last fall, only to discover -- to my horror, water pouring from the ceilings vent and lightfixture.   I called AABCO, and Roy came out the very next day -- a Sunday -- to fix the four areas where the pipe had burst.   We thought we had gotten all of the leaks, but the water mitigation company, which was tearing out some of the ruined drywall, discovered a very minor additional lead.    Roy came immediately to take care of it.    He does a great job, is committed, and pricewise, if very reasonable!

"MJ Home Service saved the day. I  mean night. The outside water faucet cracked and water slowly came back into the houses bring a good deal of mud with it. I called MJ home services around 7 pm and they promptly responded and had a team here within the hour. . They did everything right and more. Melissa explained the process and answered all my questions.  She was very responsive and kept me informed of arrival and how the process would work.. The crew (Brian and Ned) were very processional and kept me informed of every step of the process. They took over the situation and took care of everything needed. They removed  water, mud and all water soaked  items like cardboard boxes . They stacked everything up neatly in one area., cut out damaged drywall, and sprayed to prevent  mold. The set up  fans, so that the basement and rolled up carpeting would dry. They did everything necessary to make sure we were taken care of, even set up our humidifier. Their price was exceptionally reasonable. I have dealt with Servpro, I would have paid twice or more and  had to deal with sales pitches for additional services. I can't imagine how we could ave been taken care of any better. They did everything right. They made a bad night better. I recommend them without reservations.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.

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.

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.

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits for you. Regardless of local laws, it is always recommended to hire a licensed professional to ensure the system is sized and installed correctly. You can use tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.
