"Gordon's service tech (Andrew) called to let us know he was 20 minutes away, which was exactly the time we were expecting him. He was courteous, professional and accommodating, and took time to patiently answer our many questions. He pointed out the problem we had with the softener, corrected it, and gave us tips on proper maintenance going forward. Overall, we were impressed with his knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism. Everything you would expect from a quality company like Gordon Water!"
"It went great! I was having issues with my softener, they got the problem solved in a timely and efficient manner and they were very helpful and informative."
"When we bought this house we were planning to renovate the basement. The previous owner had represented that it had never taken on water. The first weekend we were here, however, a torrential rainstorm caused the basement to flood. We realized we needed to waterproof it before we could do anything else, and decided that drain tiling was the safest way to go. Greg was phenomenally responsive from the start. He was very clear about what needed to be done and how they would do it. He also described some optional work but was explicit that it was optional and if it didn't fit within our budget that was that, and he wasn't going to push it the slightest bit. His quote blew away the bigger, well-known firm and was less than or on a par with some others. He also agreed to demo the walls for a slight extra charge, which otherwise would have been a huge convenience for us. Between then and the start of work I emailed him repeatedly with various questions and he responded almost instantly. When his workers took down the paneling we got the unpleasant news that we had huge cracks in the walls that would need to be tuckpointed and in one area a big chunk of foundation was jutting from the wall. That section of the foundation would need to be replaced and a support beam installed. We were more or less at Greg's mercy at this point -- we weren't going to halt work and bring in a series of guys to quote the tuckpointing & repair -- but Greg gave us an estimate of $2,600-$3,000. We can't know for sure, but suspect that this price was more than fair, and Greg stuck to it even though we think the work turned out to be more than they expected. The project manager, Jim, was fantastic to work with throughout, very communicative and accomodating, and the crew of five guys or so was extremely friendly and professional. All in all, A Perfect Crawlspace was a pleasure to work with and we could not be happier with the results. "
"Stay Dry took the stress and worry out of the entire waterproofing process. The entire company was great, from the initial appointment, to the installation crew. I would highly recommend Stay Dry!"
"Hired Clear and Simple Water service after speaking with 5 different companies in the area. Brian discussed options and provided a plan to "fix" my water. First time on well water (15 hardness, with 2.5 ppm Ferrous Iron) and was used to city water systems. Installed a water softener, RO system, and UV sterilization. Quick, easy install. Really happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone. My water is great to drink, shower with, and the build-up is gone from my faucets."
"Canney's was here the next day and replaced the water softener. Got all the instruction on operation and so on, and was completed in a couple hours. I could see a great improvement in my water quality right away. Very Happy with Canney's !"
Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.
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.
Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.
Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.
It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.
