"We have a basement bathroom with a floor drain that backs up when the shower is used. Both the toilets in this old house were getting tempermental, too, so it was time to call a plumber. I'd never used a plumber in this area before, so I went to Angie's list for a recommendation. I liked what I saw under Grumpy's Drains  business description, so I called. A friendly woman made an appointment for me for the very next day, explained their flat rates (which I liked), and asked if the plumber could come early if he finished the job scheduled ahead of mine early. I said sure.
   Well, Keith called me the next morning, and ended up coming an hour early, which was great. He and his helper, Dan, were friendly and helpful, and got right to work. They had all four drains cleared in no time, ran lots of water to test them, and then Keith explained to me how to avoid problems in the future. All of his suggestions were relatively inexpensive things I can realistically do, and I will.  The whole thing was quick, clean and DONE, taking only about 20 minutes start to finish, and on top of that, Keith ended up charging me for only two of the four drains he cleared.
So, to recap:
The appointment was made easily and I didn't have to wait.
He came early, did the job quickly and efficiently, was friendly, helpful and clean, and left me a more educated consumer.
He charged me LESS than I had agreed to pay.
I had put off having this done for so long, worried that it was going to be expensive to handle, and now I feel pretty silly about that, but I also feel pretty happy to have found such a good plumber.

"They called me when they were on their way to my house and arrived promptly. They fixed everything quickly and explained the problem to me. They also visibly checked the water shutoff in the house, in the garage and talked to me about the efficiency of these, or inefficiencies."

"The team at Roots were very helpful with the removal of an old leaking water heater including working in a tight crawl space to determine the extent of the leak and water damage. They are standing by to install a new tank once the mitigation and restoration in my laundry room has been completed. Matt and Victoria seem genuinely committed to doing good work and providing great customer service and communication."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Experts recommend that you put two to four bags of potassium chloride in your water softener every month. This amount depends on how much is in the bag (40 pounds is most common) and what your water softener manufacturer recommends. For more specific advice, talk to a water softener pro in your area and read the manual that came with your system.

To get utilities set up on a property, you first have to contact the local department of planning to determine whether your property is able to connect to public utilities. From there, you can work with a structural engineer and/or a building contractor to design the layout of utility lines on the property. The pros will need this information as they begin securing building permits before they can start adding lines.

If your property isn’t able to connect to public utilities, you’ll need to consider working with pros to develop a comfortable off-grid home that will meet your needs.

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.
