"They were great. They were very prompt when I called them, they responded within a very timely manner, efficient, and professional. I have a little concern about the leak around the floor where the water heater had leaked and I told them about that and he got a plywood to put down over the floor for the water heater to rest on so that it won't go directly on the floor and it would give the floor time to dry and air out and he came out of his way to do it."

"I have used Pro Plumbing for years, and their quality has remained top-notch (some companies start out with stellar quality and service, but degrade over time). Today, I needed several things done (unclogging a slow drain, painting the fitting on a propane line, and fixing a leaky outside faucet), and Josh came out to perform all of the work (I sprung the final job on him last minute, and he was very professional and courteous - telling me that he had the necessary parts on his truck to do the work right then). Pro Plumbing practices up-front pricing, so after inspecting the areas where the work needed to be done, Josh was able to provide me with an itemized cost list, such that I could see exactly what I would be paying for each task (which allowed me the flexibility to choose whether or not I wanted to complete everything that day). Josh was very knowledgeable, and explained what he was doing as he went along - making sure that everything was working as expected once he had completed each job. He also inspected everything after he had tuned the water back on - to ensure proper water flow to all faucets. As a bonus, he even showed me where to find the backflow valve for my irrigation system. I was very pleased and satisfied with Josh’s work and professionalism, and will definitely continue to use Pro Plumbing (and now they have electric and HAVC, as well!) for all my plumbing needs."

"They were very professional and thorough. Not only did they make a thorough analysis of potential causes from the water leak under the master bathroom, but also discovered a leak under the guest bathroom as well. They provided excellent next steps for how to approach both problems since structural damage was involved. Price was very competitive. Would definitely use again.

"I've been a Realtor for 18 years. I've never had a better experience with an HVAC company than I've had with Alpine.  We decided on Friday afternoon that I needed a new furnace and duct work, and the job was done by Tuesday afternoon, the day before Christmas!!   My experience with everyone, from the person who diagnosed my problem, to the person who discussed financing with me, to the technicians who installed the system, could not have been any better.
The technicians showed up on time, were extremely knowledgeable and professional, explained everything they did for me, and left the site cleaner than how they found it.  They were very impressive, had great attitudes, and made me feel very confident that the new system will serve me well, and will save me a lot of money in energy bills.
As a Realtor, I take my testimonials very seriously.  I can honestly say that my dealings with Alpine from start to finish were absolutely perfect, and I wouldn't change anything about how it went. I've emailed a testimonial to Alpine, and told them they can have anyone who is thinking of using them, to call me for a reference.  I will refer all of my clients and colleagues to Alpine.  I could not be happier with the job they did for me.

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a license or permit for water softener installation depends on your location. Some municipalities require the installer to hold a plumbing license, while others may only require a permit and an inspection. In some cases, both a permit and a licensed installer are necessary, and some areas have no requirements at all. Often, only certified plumbers and electricians are allowed to pull the necessary permits. To find out the specific regulations in your area, you can contact your local building department. Alternatively, a local water softener installer or plumber will be familiar with the requirements and can typically pull the permits 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 tools like Angi’s state licensing tool to verify an installer's license status.

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.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

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.

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.
