"Cellino techs performed the work as scheduled. However, they could not remove the blockage, which was determined to be at the street connection to the bubbler piping. Their boroscope was not working either (I wanted to go in from the street side and see what was blocking the piping).. They told me they were hitting something "hard" because the end of their auger on the snake came back "shiny" (which turned out to be totally erroneous). They wanted $1600 to dig out at the street and fix the bubbler pipe. Ultimately, when the pipe was fixed by the Town of Amherst, it was observed that small diameter tree roots completely clogged about 12 inches of the 4" diameter drain piping. I feel that Cellino should have known this was a town issue (based upon the blockage location), their auger should have been able to cut through the small diameter roots, and the price I was quoted to dig up the bubbler pipe was exorbitant. Ultimately, I did most of the digging myself to expose the drain piping in a little over 1 hour. The Town of Amherst finished the repair and replaced all of the dirt in another 90 minutes."

"The crew that worked in my basement did an excellent job. It was hard, dirty work but they did it all without mess to my house or yard. The drainage works great and I now have a dry basement - great work!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The primary difference between a water softener and a water filter lies in what they remove from the water. A water softener is designed to remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. In contrast, a water filter has a broader effect, removing various contaminants above a certain size, which can include bacteria and other impurities.

To decide which you need, consider your goal. If you want to eliminate hard minerals, choose a softener. If you want to remove a wide range of contaminants, a filter is the better option. Filters are also generally less expensive to install. Depending on your water supply, you may need to install both for comprehensive treatment.

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.

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.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.

Soft water is better for your hair. The minerals in hard water can dry out hair, make it brittle, and leave a film on the hair and scalp that may cause irritation. Hard water also doesn't rinse out shampoo and conditioner effectively, which can lead to product buildup that makes hair look dull and limp. You may also find you need to use more shampoo to get a good lather in hard water.
