We were attempting to replace the dryer vent connection from the dryer to the connection to the crawl space due our feeling that it was clogged.  When we took off the dryer vent connection to the floor vent, there was water in it.  We became alarmed at the amount of water in the clogged lint, so we thought that we had better call a plumber.  My father-in-law had used Reed's recently and was satisfied with their services.  In contacting them on a Saturday afternoon, they offered the option to wait until Monday morning which would reduce the rate by half and they would also be able to obtain the proper connection to service the vent.  They arrived on time on Monday.  They replaced not only the dryer connection but the connection from the floor to the crawl space and to the outside discharge exit.  For all the work that they performed the charge was $106!  Not only were we thrilled at the job that they did, but to only charge $106 for almost two hours of work was exceptional.  Dryer is working better than it ever has, now that the connection has been replaced.  Highly recommend Reed's Plumbing.

"Jimmy was punctual, looked professional, was very polite. The new tap was installed in 30 min or less. He also repaired a malfunctioning wall switch that operates our garage door. The charge for both jobs was fair. I recommend him."

"Very professional, friendly, and prompt service.  They took time to explain what had caused the damages to the roof and what needed to be done to prevent the damages from re-occurring.  Also, they explained the benefits of a full roof replacement vs just repairing the damaged area.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

Hard water stains can be a headache because they will reoccur as long as hard water flows through. Thankfully, hard water stains are not permanent. With the right tools and an appropriate cleaning routine, you can prevent hard water stains from ever building up. However, you might feel like you are stuck in a constant cleaning cycle. In that case, you may consider hiring a contractor to perform routine cleaning.

The average cost to install a water softener, including the system and labor, is approximately $1,500. However, the total price can range widely from $600 to $6,000. For some complete systems, the cost may be between $800 and $2,500. Labor for the installation typically costs between $150 and $1,000.

The final price is influenced by several factors, including:

  • System type, capacity, and complexity

  • Home size and household water demands

  • Water hardness levels

  • Accessibility of the installation site and the extent of plumbing work required

  • Whether new electrical work is needed

  • The professional hired and any local permit costs

It’s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it’s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair’s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.

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.
