"Wyatt was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. His estimates were very reasonable compared to other quotes we received, and he took the time to explain our options clearly. He made honest, practical recommendations on plumbing fixtures that helped us avoid unnecessary costs while still getting quality results. We really appreciated his transparency and expertise. Travis arrived on time to fix our plumbing issues and install a water filtration system. He completed the work efficiently without rushing and was very careful with the fixtures. After installing the water filter, he clearly explained the next steps for proper usage and what to watch for to identify any potential issues. He encouraged us to reach out if anything came up and assured us he would come back promptly if needed. His attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to help really stood out. Highly recommend this team for reliable, professional, and trustworthy plumbing services."

"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.

"Our CPVC house piping had a lot of water hammer. After turning on the washing machine, I walked out for a moment, and then when I came back in water was dripping from the ceiling exhaust fan onto the washing machine. We have a two story house and they ran the hot water plumbing from the water heater in the garage through the laundry room ceiling. I removed the exhaust fan and could see water dripping from a tee way back beyond reach. The water hammer from the washer likely caused the fitting to start leaking. I turned the house water supply off and sent a message to Simpson plumbing through Angie's list. A lady from Simpson plumbing contacted me right away the next morning. She was courteous, but was having a hard time understanding what the problem was. Maybe I was giving too much information or something, but when the plumbers arrived later that afternoon they didn't understand what was going on. I ran through what happened again and showed them the wet spot on the ceiling. They had to cut an opening in the ceiling and we turned the water on and confirmed the leak. We moved my washing machine out of their way and they cut out the CPVC tee and replaced it with PEX. The piping was brittle so it took him a couple of attempts to get a straight cut which is why I called them to mess with it. After installing the PEX tee, we were leak free and at my request they provided a reference for the drywall repair. He also advised getting some water hammer arrestors installed on the supply lines to the washing machine to stop the water hammer, which I have since done."

"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."

"JP & crew came and replaced the old water main from the street to the house. In spite of the icy weather, they completed the work in 2 days, then came back and back filled the hole to keep it from freezing during the weekend. They kept everything cleaned up. Great job and a pleasure to work with. I would hire them again, but hope we don't need to."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water is not considered unhealthy and is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in. It doesn't pose a risk to your physical health and can even help you get enough essential minerals like calcium in your diet. However, it can negatively affect skin and hair. Using hard water for washing can contribute to dry skin, an itchy scalp, and may worsen conditions like eczema by altering the pH balance. Additionally, some people do not like the taste of hard water.

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.

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.

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.

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.
