"While I was at a lost who to call,I remeber your ad how you pre check people. Uncertain I filed out the order. In less the 24 hrs he called me back setup an appt and came out. Low water pressure was caused by a plugged filter and stuck regulator. Put a new regulator on, replace the filter, good to go....ALMOST.. about 20 minutes later getting to water, low water pressure still. Called him back was back out in less than a hour.

"Bob Gray and his team at 4-Ever Water-Tite did amazing work on our basement. I fully recommend this company without hesitation for any basement waterproofing, plumbing, or foundation work. The team was extremely knowledgeable and skilled, professional, courteous, and just good people all around. Bob was able to schedule our project in quickly and it was completed within three days. The work that was completed was exceptional, as well as the clean-up. The price was also very reasonable and the work has a lifetime transferable warranty."

Overall,  Matt and Tim were extremely thorough and detailed throughout the entire inspection.  Of all the inspectors I contacted, Matt was the only one to immediately offer me his resume and credentials to review. 

The property they were inspecting was a bank-owned, foreclosed property built in 1870 and had the original Michigan stone foundation.  Due to a myriad of issues such as: foundational issues, major plumbing leaks, an additional crawlspace, one of the furnaces and AC unites not turning on, misleading septic records, etc., and the pure breadth of minor issues identified, the appointment lasted almost 2 hours longer than expected for a total of almost 6 hours.  They stayed the extra time and patiently completed the inspection and answered all of our questions. 

At the conclusion of the inspection, Matt reviewed with us all the pictures he took (over 150) on his laptop and talked through everything we were going to see in the final report.  The report was received in approximately 48 hours, which was perfectly acceptable due to the large amount of issues identified.  The 50+ page, handwritten report FAR exceeded our expectations.  While the fees are a bit higher than others (keep in mind the total above includes well/septic inspection and water testing), Matt was absolutely worth the costs.  I would highly recommend Weatherstone to anyone who wants an extremely thorough inspection and not just a checklist of items reviewed.  If you are buying an older home specifically, you definitely want someone experienced in those types of properties.

"I had a flood starting in my basement when my sump pump went out. Luckily, when I called Paul (of PP's Plumbing) he was able to come right over and swap it out before the water really became a problem. He was fast, efficient and fair. I would trust all of my plumbing to Paul."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Water purifiers and water softeners serve different purposes, so the best one will depend on your particular needs. Water purifiers remove contaminants from water (such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals), leaving you with ultra-clean and safe water. However, water softeners remove minerals from your water so that the water doesn’t leave stains around your house or cause plumbing problems.

The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

A good hardness level for drinking water can vary based on personal preferences, but an ideal level is 3.5 to 7 GPG. This means your water isn’t soft or hard. However, some people prefer the “fresh” taste from the minerals in hard water, while others like the smoother, “slippery” texture of soft water.
