"Josh Wilder from Roth Home was excellent. He inspected my outdoor faucet to provide me an estimate to get it fixed. During his inspection he determined there was a blockage and had got the faucet operating with running water in a matter of minutes. He was very professional, punctual, and courteous."

"I was having my garage floor coated so Gates came out to remove, service and then reinstall the water heater after the floor had been finished. I also had them add a foam pad underneath to keep it from sitting on anything cold. He recommended adding 2x4 pieces to help brace the unit which I took him up on. They worked through a scheduling conflict and were awesome at showing up when needed to remove in time for the project in the morning and coming back later in the afternoon so hot water was on before we never knew it had been missed. Very professional people, from the office to the job site and VERY fast with their communication! Highly recommend."

"This is definitely the only company you should call if you have water damage!!!! I had a damaged pipe that required the entire master bathroom and a section of the garage to be replaced. Within 24 hours, Manny had the ball rolling and kept an eagle eye on the project through to the end. He handled all of the demolition and remodel and his entire crew was fantastic!!! Manny coordinated everything for me, including working with the insurance adjuster on the tricky details and coming up with great some great ideas on how to make major improvements to my master bath. His tile guys did an amazing job installing a tile shower and floor, his plumber put in an awesome new overhead shower and his electrician was able to help me out with additional repairs while on site. All of the guys were extremely nice, trust worthy and very good about cleaning up behind themselves each day. The best thing was that everyone that was involved in this project was a perfectionist so everything came out beautifully."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

If your ‘do isn’t doing what you want it to do despite using good hair care products, hard water might be to blame. Since hard water can’t rinse soap off as well as soft water can, your hair might grow limp because of the shampoo and conditioner residue that’s left behind. If you color your hair, you might see it fade more quickly or even turn a different shade as the dye reacts with the minerals in the water. You might also experience an itchy scalp, thanks to the dryness that comes from bathing in the hard water.

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.

While it depends on how complicated the unit and installation is, it takes two to four hours to install a water softener unit, on average. It might take longer if pipes need to be replaced. You should make sure the installation area is clear of any objects that might get in the way before you begin.

A lower-end water softener would cost around $900, not including installation. Each home has different requirements, water hardness, and number of inhabitants, so there’s a huge range in pricing—$600 to over $6,000. The average water softener repair bill is around $500, meaning it’s a much better option to repair any issues and only replace your softener if absolutely necessary. 

The main difference between water softeners and water filters is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both.
