"Shane, the plumber, cleared the drain clog. He was friendly, on time, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Shane estimated it would take an hour and it took only about half an hour. I was then charged a ridiculous $830. I feel I was way overcharged and am not happy with this. I do not recommend Dean's Home Services."

With over 15 years of experience, Pete’s Plumbing specializes in commercial & residential plumbing services including bathroom remodels and basement finishes. Now servicing Big Lake, Zimmerman, & Princeton areas as well as the greater Twin Cities metro. Call or text Jeremy at 763.234.8187, today!

"I have renovated over twenty properties in several Minnesota counties. I work with several plumbers and most of them are honest and ethical. I believe at one time Jeremy was honest but is now using his companies reputation to over charge customers. I called Jeremy because I needed two copper pipes installed for a water softener. I explained that I would install and setup the water softener. Over the phone he quoted that his charges would be under $200.00 to install two copper pipes. Jeremy arrived at our property and worked from 3:00 pm to 3:20 pm. I then engaged Jeremy in conversation and he required $225.00 for twenty minutes of work. I challenged his extreme charges and he continued to claim that he is the cheapest plumber in the area. He explained that other plumbers complain that Jeremy is too cheap and hurt their pricing. This places Jeremy's hourly rate at over 600.00 an hour. Jeremy then handed me a time and material invoice for $225.00 and demanded full payment. I paid Jeremy in full but this is a warning that this company is defrauding and cheating innocent people in Anoka county. I intend to file a complaint with the department of commerce and other agencies to require that plumbers be regulated by government agencies. Plumbers such as Jeremy are overcharging and are worse than the most expensive attorney."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

You should not use a water conditioner with a water softener because a water conditioner changes the chemistry of the water and causes the ion exchange in a softener to be ineffective. Choose a water softener if you have hard water or well water, and use a water conditioner if you need to remove certain contaminants.

No, hard water isn’t dangerous. The added calcium in hard water can contribute to good bone health. However, it can also cause dry skin and hair. If you have dry skin or hair, consider using a water-softening system to help minimize the minerals in your water. Plus, these systems can also add some sodium to your diet. 

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.

Yes, it is safe to bathe in yellow water. The iron or tannin content won’t harm your skin, and soap will clean you whether your water is clear or yellow. If you find bathing in yellow water problematic, you can ask a pro to inspect your plumbing and determine how to get your water clear again.
