"The installation of the hot water tank was great. I was not happy that they did not drain any water from the old tank, I believe that once they determined that they could not empty the water anywhere in the basement except outside they just left it. I am in my seventies and I had to do it the next day so I could move the tank."

"The owner came out at 10:00pm to my house because I had no heat. He diagnosed the problem but could not fix it that night. He did get the water to circulate to try to keep it from freezing. The next day he found the unique part we needed at his distributor and by noon got my heat running. This company is honest caring and gives old fashion service. He saved me hundreds in repair bills for broken pipes."

"Our kitchen drain had been sluggish for quite a while. We finally called a plumber and were happy to find out he could come out within a few days. Just, as promised he showed up on time and was ready to tackle our plumbing problems. He and his son in-law are a two man team who work great together and are genuinely concerned about fixing any plumbing problems that exist. One of our plumbing problems was a stubborn clog that had settled in a sloping pvc pipe. They diligently worked on it until it was completely cleaned out. First they fixed the slope by giving it much needed support with braces and brackets. Then they worked on the clog. Once it appeared to be cleared out they ran the water to make sure the clog was completely gone,not just moved farther down.. I'm very glad they took that extra precaution because after they had run the water for about 10 minutes the water began to back up again. So they decided to cut through the pipe to physically remove the greasy, clog. They sealed up the pipe and tested the drain again for clear passage. Now the drainage in my kitchen sink is working better than it ever has. There is no build up of water. There were other problems that needed to be addressed and our real plumbers found a working solution for all of them. These two men are very knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting the best way to solve plumbing problems. And their suggestions are not necessarily the most expensive solutions, but rather the most effective. I would definitely call on them again. In fact several days after their visit, we did need them again. There was a problem that was NOT related to the clogged drain. As with the first visit, they came right out. They discussed the best way to handle the plumbing problem and fixed it at a very reasonable rate. We're glad we found "A REAL PLUMBER." It's good to know that a reliable, reasonably priced team of plumbers is only a phone call away."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

A water softener removes minerals from your drinking water and can make your house water softer. These softeners are designed to extend the lifetime of your plumbing system while also making water safer and more palatable for drinking. Hard water, which is water with a heavy amount of suspended particles, can also cause hair damage, skin irritation, and buildup in your pipes.

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.

While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.

There are several things that can shorten the life of a water softener. Homes with very hard water may have to replace the unit sooner because the water softener works harder to filter out the hard minerals. High water usage and infrequent maintenance can also put more strain on a water softener.

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.
