Should I hire a professional or replace a water softener myself?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Julian was very professional, fixing two holes in our living room ceiling after an upstairs water leak. He was very careful covering surfaces. I would highly recommend him. We’ll use him in the future.

Did an excellent job on power washing my barn and concrete walkways. Brought their own water supply, which was a plus.

Did not drill the block to allow the water out which is what they were paid to do. Did not level their concrete work. $12k later and I still have water coming through my walls.

Douglas Water was excellent! They explained what the issue was (sulfide gases) and how to get rid of it. I didn't need the water softener, (and they informed me that I didn't), but upgraded my system anyway because it was over 25 years old. Jordan Peaks (sales) was professional, courteous, and...

1) The tech recommended I change my outside spigot and water lines. Moving water lines through a finished ceiling in my basement and moving an existing spigot to just outside my front door. The estimate was almost $30,000.00. I was able to get the current line insulated and it cost me under...

Hi, I’m Mrs. Michael, and when you need something repaired, We wanna be your guy. Back when I was raising two babies, my husband and I started a plumbing company, an electrical company, AND a heating and air company. Mr. Michael is a genius with tools, but he did NOT enjoy running 3 big companies, so he asked me to do it. Turns out, I LOVE it!! I believe that if we make your problems disappear quick and easy, then when someone you know needs something repaired you’ll say: “I’ve got a guy! . . . Her name is Mrs. Michael.”

"I called Mrs.Michael plumbing and electrician on a Sunday and was told the service call would cost $129. However, I wasn?t informed that the $129 only covered the technician?s arrival. Once on-site, I was told diagnosing the issue would be an additional $450 ? and that price only covered two outlets, with anything else costing extra. I?ve rented homes for over 30 years, and I?ve never encountered such misleading pricing practices."
