"Foundation 1 replaced our 28-year-old sump pump. They worked efficiently and did a quality job. They were diligent in protecting our hardwood floor and carpet, and they did a thorough job cleaning up when finished. Our only difficulty was they left the outside water on after mixing the cement, which caused the outside faucet to rupture. However, Foundation 1 addressed our issue and Matt did an excellent job in replacing the faucet. All in all, we are happy with Foundation 1."

"The people at the Leaky Cellar were awesome. They had some set backs but worked through them and even came out on a Saturday to finish the job. They were professional and respectful and I would work with them again.

Water Softeners FAQs, answered by experts

Choosing involves understanding water hardness levels, household size, desired features, and consulting professionals experienced in suitable system types.

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. 

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.

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.

The chemicals in a water softener can wear down the anode rod in the heater and shorten its life span. However, for most people, the benefits of the softener outweigh this potential drawback.

Have a plumber inspect the anode rod annually for damage, as replacing the anode rod is far less expensive than replacing the entire water heater.

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.
