"I’ve used Ace Plumbing on 4 occasions. Each time, Travis responded very quickly, always alerted me if he was going to be delayed, and when he was on his way. In each case, he diagnosed the problem quickly and got it fixed and back in business within minutes. I am very pleased with the service I received from Ace."

SENIOR DISCOUNTS AND ANGIES LIST MEMBERS DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE. **We are Licensed, Insured and Bonded!**

"After another plumber said he could not fix the problem I paid another service fee through American Home Shield to have another plumber come out. Randall and Sons were assigned. He came out said it wasn't the problem the other plumber said. He said he would replace the toilet. He did not put in the request, did not contact me, did not contact me when I repeatedly reached out to resolve the issue. After contacting AHS several times, he told them to close the assignment. Nothing was wrong. He kept my service fee and I still have toilet issues. Do not use Randall and sons."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

"Our water heater died. We called Adams & Son and the office manager said she would contact mechanic and get back to me. Within 10 minutes they called and agreed to have a mechanic and a new tankless water heater at my home the next morning. They arrived at 8:30am and by 10:30am we had hot water. They were professional, efficient and left my home spotless. It was hard to believe we had gone through such a mess less than 24 hours before. I would recommend Adams and Son to anyone who needs their services."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Just as hard water can wreak havoc on your skin by drying it out, it’s also not great for your hair. That’s because hard water won’t rinse out shampoo and conditioner as effectively as soft water can. All that product buildup isn’t good news for your hair, which can look dull and limp over time with hard water.

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.

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.

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.
