"I’m not sure how to update my review but I did attach my previous review. I was contacted by TLC field manager and he was very willing to work with me and the insurance. He was very responsive to my concerns. As of now, we’re still waiting for the house to be redone, but TLC was very professional and responsive about this whole ordeal. Description of work: Not sure why we had such bad luck with this company. Let me just start off by saying they have been courteous the whole time but they can’t seem to get the job done. First, we called them for a leak in the master bath. Upon arrival, they found the leak was from a pipe accessible from the living room. So they cut up the drywall and supposedly fixed the leak. We thought, not too bad. Minimal floor damage. Had to file a claim with insurance for the floor damage in masters. So then there was no hot water after the fix, so we had to pay for new water heater. Don’t know if they were the ones who broke it or not. Then in the middle night, the pipe they fixed bursted and now pretty much damaged the floors of the whole living room, hallway, etc. called them back and they “fixed” it but now we see saw marks on the pvc tubing next to the wall where they were sawing. Got another call in for them to come out. Meanwhile, we had to file another insurance claim meaning another deductible out of our pocket not to mention the stress of a water damaged home!"

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.

Yes. To get soft water, you can install a water softening system, which will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium or potassium ions. Water softeners cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000, depending on the size and complexity of the system. You can either install a water softener for the whole house or just at your shower heads. If you’re sensitive to sodium or potassium, you can install a salt-free water conditioner.

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.

Yes, you can have both a water softener and a water filter. In fact, some manufacturers sell dual water softening and filtration systems that treat hard water and provide clean drinking water. If you’re unsure about what you need or want to discuss your options, reach out to a local water softener installation company.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.
