"I want to thank the owner Paul for a job well done. They came on time and spent several hours clearing a clogged secondary drain pipe. I also had a defective cold water valve replace for my washer. I highly recommend this company and would user them again."

"I thought it was the well pump that was causing the cessation of water supply. It turned out to be the pressure tank. The water tank was replaced for a reasonable price. The water softener still needs to be looked at, but so far water is running. Would definitely use again."

"I was very impressed with how quickly the technician identified the problem and restored operation of our water heater. We then discussed how to proceed given the age of the device. He explained several installation alternatives to my wife and I . We discussed the choices and selected one that satisfied our needs. As previously stated, the representative was able to restart the existing water heater so we have hot water now, but we chose to replace it due to its age. We then scheduled the replacement after choosing one of the alternatives. In summary, we were very satisfied with the service."

"Best plumber I've ever used! He's got a lot of common sense. Whereas other plumbers simply wanted to knock out a wall in order to gain access to pipes ,thereby leaving me (on my own) with a whole new set of problems, William simply said, "Let's make a little door, thereby saving my wall AND gaining access to the pipes. He was actually surprised that this was not previously suggested. He's very honest, he's intelligent and he knows what he's doing. Honest, reasonable and patient. No one I've used has come up to his standards. He's the guy I'll call in the future--that is if he's still available, once people "catch on" to this gem. He's going to get great reviews again and again and then I'll probably have to "wait in line" for his services--but he deserves it."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

It depends on the type of surface. For instance, if you’re trying to get rid of hard water deposits on glass, you can spray vinegar onto the surface and wipe it off with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. However, if the deposits are on granite or natural stone, it’s better to use baking soda and water rather than vinegar or other acidic cleaners.

A water softener is a worthwhile investment if you live in an area with hard water. While hard water is safe to drink, it contains minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause significant problems over time. These minerals build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and eventually corroding the plumbing system, which can lead to leaks and a shortened lifespan. Hard water also damages fixtures and appliances, potentially resulting in costly repairs. Additionally, it makes soaps and detergents less effective, meaning you'll use more product to get things clean. By installing a water softener, you can prevent these issues. The initial investment is often recouped through long-term savings, including lower energy bills, reduced appliance and plumbing maintenance, and spending less on soap and cleaning supplies. Other benefits include cleaner linens, dishes, and clothing, as well as softer water that is gentler on your skin and hair. In some areas, a water softener can also increase your home's value, making it a valuable long-term investment.

The main difference between a water softener and a water filter is what they remove from the water. A water softener is specifically designed to remove hard minerals, while a filter removes a wider range of contaminants above a certain size, such as bacteria and other impurities. If your primary goal is to remove minerals, a softener is the best choice. If you want to remove various contaminants for safety or taste, a filter is more suitable. Filters are also typically less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply's specific issues, you may need to install both systems for comprehensive treatment.

Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.

Hard water doesn’t hurt, but it might feel more abrasive, especially if you have sensitive skin. It’s also about how your skin feels after bathing. You might feel as though you have a sticky film over your body because you do—it’s all that soapy residue left behind because the hard water can’t rinse it off completely.
