"I hired this company to extend the natural gas in my house and would definitely recommend them. I felt that the plumber who did the installation really knew what he was doing and seemed like a great guy. The installation went well and the price was fair."

"Mayo Plumbing is different from all the rest. They use data and research to inform their work. Before calling Mayo I had two different plumbers look at our new (very old) house. The first said, "St. Louis has hard water - you NEED a water softener." The second said, "St. Louis has great water - you DO NOT need a water softener." Mayo said, "What did the test results say? No one can tell you you need a water softener without testing your water first." BINGO. They tested our water and determined we DO NOT need a water softener. Same approach for our broken shower. The mayo plumber actually researched the issue, spending time with the paperwork and on the phone with the Kohler rep to determine exactly what we need to do, before making a wild guess and upselling us. I've never seen a plumber like this - these guys are SMART and will be our go-to provider!"

"I was impressed from the moment the owner introduced himself and his assistant to the time they left my home dirt and soot free. Not only did they do a fine job cleaning he also checked the dryer vent. Will call them again next year.

"Sam replaced a water heater that was under an enclosed counter area after removing the old water heater, and replaced a damaged circuit breaker for what seemed to be a very reasonable price. Many difficulties arose that were not anticipated and he handled them all in an extremely professional manner. Definitely someone to keep on my contact list."

"Did a fine job installing water heater, but then the installer apparently did not push out the air in the lines through the house. The faucet in the kitchen then loss water pressure since there was debris from the old water heater in the lines. I was told there would be no charge when they came back to investigate for the inspection fee, but there was. I made my case and then it went away. Overall, they did a great job with the work. Ted and Glen are the ones I would want back. Very experienced at the trade."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Generally, it is safe to bathe in yellow water, as the color is often caused by iron, tannins, or rust, which won't harm your skin. Soap will still clean you effectively, though the water might leave stains. However, if the water has an unusual smell or you suspect contamination, avoid bathing and contact a plumber for an inspection. A professional can also help if you find bathing in yellow water problematic and want to determine how to get your water clear again.

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

Drinking hard water is not known to have any negative health impacts. Using hard water can lead to dry skin and hair, and the minerals in hard water can build up in pipes, faucets, and appliances. Hard water is more of a threat to your plumbing than it is to your health.

Whether you need a permit or license for a water softener installation depends on your location, as requirements vary significantly. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, some mandate a permit and an inspection, and others require both. In some areas, no special permit or license is needed at all.

To determine the rules in your area, you can contact your local building department or consult a local water softener installer or plumber. Often, only certified professionals are authorized to pull the necessary permits, and they will typically handle the entire permitting process 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 Angi’s state licensing tool to check an installer’s license status.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.
