I have always specialized in service but have much experience in all aspects of plumbing. We do commercial and residential new installation and repair as well as gas work and underground service (water, sewer, gas) repair or replace. We also do kitchen & bath remodeling. ***Currently our website is under construction***

"I cannot begin to say how amazing this company is. I was recommended this company on Facebook. I called and was told I would have a technician at my house at 9am. The technicians was prompt and ready to go. He went above and beyond what was asked of him. He assisted and gave me suggestions for my project and did the work I asked him to do. He was definitely a life saver helping me out with my water tank. The service I thought was going to cost a ton of money was Penny's compared to their competitors. This company will now be my one and only plumbing resource. Thank you McLean Plumbing you freaking ROCK!!"

"I was very pleased with all aspects of Heeter Plumbing. They were very efficient and professional. They replaced my outside faucet, which hadn't been usable for several years after freezing one winter, and installed the water heater both in one day. Unfortunately after trying a couple of different things, the tub faucet which had just a trickle of water coming from it, was was unable to be fixed the first trip. Another company tried to fix the same problem earlier in the year, but I ended up experiencing the problem again and worse. After getting a separate estimate for the problem job, another time was set to complete the work. Upon arrival, they tried several things again to see if they would work before actually going through with the most expensive solution. They had to cut an access panel through a bedroom wall to get to the pipes to replace them. They did a great job with clean up. The estimate price was right on target. After they were finished, water filled the tub faster than it ever has in the 21 years I've lived in the house. After several months later, it's continuing to work just as well. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future!"

"Highly Disappointed/Dissatisfied. 8/18/21 had hot water tank replaced by Merrell Plumbing tech. Paid $1536.16 9/5/21 have water dripping down the wall and on to the floor. Discover it’s coming from a hot water pipe and call Merrell back for emergency service to repair. Paid $500.85. 9/8/21 talk with Mark about my concern that the leak was coming from the same pipe that connects to the hot water tank that was replaced a couple of weeks earlier. Coincidental? Maybe/Maybe not. I asked Mark, as a good faith gesture, if an adjustment could be made (i.e. that I pay the regular labor rate vs. the emergency labor rate) as I believe the leaking issue could have been related to when the hot water tank was replaced as the tech would have had contact with that water pipe. Mark’s responses: “There was some corrosion on the pipe so no adjustment will be made” (my attempts to say that perhaps the tech working on the end of the pipe contributed to the leak happening were dismissed). “I made the decision to schedule the emergency call on Sunday and not wait until Tuesday when the office was back open”. That was correct but I had water coming down my wall. “I could have turned the water off”. That was correct but having no water for several days was not a viable option for me and my family."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

Selecting the right system depends on testing your water to understand the contaminants present and considering your household's water usage and specific needs, such as removing specific contaminants.

Replacing a water softener costs $200 to $6,000, depending on the capacity of the water softener, the type of water softener, and the amount of people living in your home. An ion exchange water softener is the most common type and costs $500 to $3,000. Water distillers, which cost $1,200 to $4,000, and dual-tank models, which cost $1,000 to $5,000, are definitely pricey, but they offer more filtration or capacity, respectively.

You can decide whether you need a water softener or water filter based on how your bathing or laundry experience is. If you notice issues like limescale buildup, dry skin, or stains on dishes—all telltale signs of hard water—you'd likely benefit from a water softener. However, if your main concern is over chemicals or bacteria in your tap water filter, and not just comfort, a filter is a better option.
